David is now a king when he dances without inhibition before God and before the people of God. David has a bride and the bible records more than one. In his dance, David does not heed cultural expectation or decorum; he puts joy of the Lord first and foremost. Watching from a distance, one of his brides sees him dancing and her heart is filled with disdain. In conversation with her husband she derides his actions. His response is instant, “I will play music before the LORD. And I will be even more undignified than this, and I will be humble in my own sight.” *
I wonder at myself being one of the brides watching my KING dance before me, before others. Will I disdain the way HE leads us to worship? Will I let cultural protocol rule my heart or will I let love reign first, released to be uninhibited in my joy? A song enters my heart in answer to this question.
We will dance, we will dance for Your glory
We will dance, we will dance for Your glory
We will dance for Your glory, Lord
We will lift up a shout to adore You
Every sound that we make, it is for You
We will dance for Your glory, Lord
The King is coming in, the King is coming in
As we tell the whole world of Your love and life
We will dance for Your glory, Lord *
