Undignified Bride

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 *
