MercyMe - Happy Dance Lyrics






Hey, you
In the corner shaking in those boots
You got one, one for two
You got the shaking right, but the fear won't do
We always say that we have unspeakable joy
So let our feet do all the talking when our words fall short

We've got reason to get up
Reason to get down
He done traded our shame for joy
And now, that joy wants out
Happy dance
Happy dance

Hey, yeah you
In the back of the room with those concrete shoes
It's okay, to cut loose
Oh, it ain't about how you move, but what moves you
We're so consumed with what we think we're supposed to be
That we stop living like we know that we're free

We've got reason to get up
Reason to get down
He done traded our shame for joy
And now, that joy wants out
Happy dance
Happy dance

Let me see, those hands
If the good Lord saved ya
Get up, get down
'Cause He done changed ya
Let me see, those hands
If the good Lord saved ya
Get up, get down
'Cause He done changed ya

We've got reason to get up
Reason to get down
He done traded our shame for joy
And now, that joy wants out
Happy dance
Happy dance

  2. K.... S....

    So many Christian's these days are'nt joyful.
    Come on guys Jesus died on a rugged cross so we could be forgiven from our terrible sin.
    Get up spread the word! Move!
    People walk around with a frowns on there faces all the time and claim to be christians.
    Throw off those concrete shoes and let's get going.
    It's not about how you move but what moves you!!!!!!!!!
    Thank you and AMEN mercyme

    "Unspeakable joy" means you're so happy that you don't know where to begin to talk about it or what to say that you just can't say anything at all.

    This song helped me a lot.I was brought up that dancing was wrong and I had danced only once at a wedding. Well my daughter was about to get married and she wanted me to dance with her. I think I must watched this video 200 or 300 times. I can really identify with the concrete shoes. I danced with her a few seconds and my wife the night before at the rehearsal like ten seconds total. You can see th result in my Facebook page. My name is Keith Beck

  55. T.... ....

    2:05
    just want to point out the kid is flossing
    I started to die of laughter when I first saw this

  56. c.... ....

    I don't understand why there are so many dislikes. This is a great bouncy song.

  57. T.... G....

    Oh! This is soooo funny 😂 can't 😂 stop 😂 laughing 😂😁🤣🙃😅

  58. m.... 7....

    I heard this in a restaurant earlier today and thought it was the lamest thing I'd heard in a while. I Shazam'd it and saw it was a Christian band. I was even more disgusted. I watched the video here and could not believe how stupid it is. Kids doing that lame "flossing" dance. The singer looks like an idiot. The music is about as dumb sounding as you can get. I'm sorry... I'm not a negative person, but apparently Christian music lovers find nothing wrong with songs, no matter how bad they are...... because they're supposedly "so uplifting". Whatever... Stop paying money for these Christan "artists". You're just making them richer. If you need uplifting music, go to church. It's free.

    m.... 7....

    I'm a young Christian and I absolutely agree with you. This is easily the worst band I've ever seen and other Christian bands are not much better. Mainstream Christian music (false Christian music) is always emasculating to even look at and it disgusts me. I will stick with my Megadeth discography.

  59. S.... P....

    I absolutely LOVE this song. How can you be sad when this song is playing!

  60. S.... D....

    0:18 song starts

  61. M.... V....

    Weirdest thing I've ever done - jamming out to this while dressed in my Edward scissor hands costume.

  62. G.... ....

    0:49 I'm not sure what to make of their expressions....

    But I like it.

  63. G.... P....

    HEY! YOU! Over there in the corner shaking in your boots. Sittin over there in the concrete shoes. We've got a Dance that's new, that God GAVE US! Jesus turned our Sin to JOY.. and NOW that JOY wants OUT! LoookOOUT HERE IT COMES!

  64. T.... B....

    The closer you draw to Jesus the more Satan wants to attack you. Ask yourself when you were living in the world doing worldly things was Satan attacking you? I'm sure he wasn't cause he didn't care about you but now that you love for the Lord he is going to attack your mind as much as he can to win you back to his hellish ways. Don't give in and when you feel tempted praise Jesus listen christian music and pray and rebuke any unwanted spirits away from you and the devil has to flee! God bless you and stay strong the fight has already been won and he has the victory just rebuke the devil and you'll have joy and peace. No one said it would be perfect to have a relationship with Jesus but the closer you get and stay the more easier it is to identify when the enemy is trying to attack. People give up so easily cause the battle is rough but it's as hard as you make and it's as joyful and peaceful as you make it! Thank you Jesus for showing your love and grace to get me back in the light. I'm so thankful to be out of the darkness and should have been dead but thank you Jesus for protecting me with your precious angels! Thank you for never leaving my side even though we cant see him it's through faith that he is over ever situation we face. Hope this helps love you and God loves you!  Romans 8:31, 8:39 What shall we say then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us. Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord!

  65. K.... W....

    This makes me want to happy dance

  66. A.... C....

    THIS IS SUCH A GOOD SONG OMG!

  67. K.... S....

    I LOVE this!

  68. g.... d....

    Cringy in a good way. Disliked. I am sorry if I have offended everyone ut it was just cringy! Maybe it's becuase I have never seen Mercyme do this before. It might just be me. I don't know.

  69. t.... ....

    Jesus is the Rock we roll to. walk in His beauty!

  70. C.... R....

    please play at my wedding!

  71. C.... L....

    😂😆

  72. M.... D....

    I'm pretty sure this should be the opening song at every church! Shouldn't believers be dancing? Don't we have the most to dance about?

  73. T.... ....

    Wow ... Happy dance

  74. C.... ....

    1:43 pause and look at there faces😂

  75. M.... M....

    Bart’s smile is unforgettable

  76. l.... A....

    I spy with my little eye Citizenway and his daughter at 2:27.

    l.... A....

    Wait where?

  77. M.... S....

    Porquería!!!! Pronto Jesús vendrá y acabará, con toda esta porquería. Jesús tu novia te ruega que ya regreses. Tan lindo que cantaban, para ahora ver esto. Porque es lo de moda y lo pegajoso. Jesús ya pasó de moda así que dejenlo. Gente ignorante!!! Que solo buscan que se le vendan discos pero no glorificar el santo nombre de Jesús. Oh que ustedes creen que Jesús se pondrá a bailar con ustedes? Ha Jesús le da vergüenza, y El Espíritu Santo se entristece al ver esta estupideces que ustedes supuestos adoradores o salmistas hacen. Porque esto no adora a Dios. Esto es una burla una burla a su solemnidad a lo sublime de su nombre. Arrepientanse y vuelvan al verdadero caminó, porque si están extraviados todavía Cristo le da la oportunidad de volver.

  78. G.... V....

    Excellent... i love this song and video wooo.. God bless you from Argentina

  79. D.... L....

    That guitar riff though... keeps me coming back.

  80. R.... C....

    Is it bad that my math teacher plays this every Friday?

  81. C.... L....

    Was at a concert last night at radio city. They were amazing as usual and sang this song last. It was awesome 😀😀

  82. T.... ....

    When did testosterone and masculinity leave Christianity? This is embarrassing!

    T.... ....

    How’s this embarrassing? It’s about having Joy that Jesus has saved us and we should celebrate!

    T.... ....

    How is it not masculine to dance? Was it not David, the man after God's own heart, who danced nearly naked in front of thousands of people for the glory of God?

  83. S.... C....

    We were at his concert Saturday night and when they sang this the place was up dancing 😂it was amazing.

  84. M.... G....

    I can only amagin my dad dad

  85. C.... T....

    This is FANTASTIC!!! How fun!! LOVE it!

  86. Q.... ....

    let us see if i can get muh 99.9:) it is the better way:)

  87. M.... V....

    Who would dare to dislike this!? You're lucky that God will forgive you.

  88. T.... ....

    jajaja tiene cara de chiste :D

  89. S.... M....

    Honestly I’m not religious so I have no idea how this band ended up in my recommended feed but like. This song is a JAM and I could honestly feel so much great energy through it all. Thank you for making me smile so much while listening 💕💕

    S.... M....

    Sydney M You should be Christian could mean Gods calling you.

    S.... M....

    God has a plan for all of us

    S.... M....

    Life isn’t easier as a Christian but it’s a whole lot more fun.

    S.... M....

    Believers get to enjoy life (including the hard stuff) so much more, because we know the end state.... like watching your favorite movie. U feel all the emotions as you watch, but you know it’ll all be great in the end 😉

  90. Y.... L....

    Great track but seriously, were you guys not using a metronome for this or something?

  91. S.... R....

    They have the floss!

  92. S.... T....

    i love it

  93. D.... C....

    Sang this today for singing practice
    great song!

  94. L.... S....

    I was having a bad day, until I listened to this. GREAT JOB!!!

  95. S.... A....

    These guys cracked me up. So funny and such a blessing!

  96. P.... V....

    I came here from school
