Praise

I am giddy
Bursting at the seams 
Flaring to flames:
I move shake my body
Twisting and twirling
Round and round like one possessed
Am drunk on the ditty;
the pulse of praise,
the throbs of song
that are pounding in my heart! 

Oh my!
Come and dance with me.
Join me in the foxtrot
of praise
lift up your thudding hearts
and swing to the beat
up and down…move 
turn around
shout halleluyah!
Praise the Heavenly King!

Shake your body 
Sideways step.
step, step, step, step
Tap, tap, tap
Turn and twirl!
Halleluyah!
Clap your hands
Clap, clap, clap!
Lift your arms high above 
and shout…
Ha…lle…lu….yah!
