Bruce Springsteen
Dancing With the Ark
[Verse 1]
I read about King David
When the Ark of the Covenant came
Got caught up in the moment
Why don't we just worship the same way?
I ain't often inspired
When I'm just too absorbed with myself
Hey, there baby
Try some music and it'll help
[Chorus 1]
We can't start the choir
We can't start the choir without your part
Lift God's name higher
Even if you're not dancing with the Ark
[Verse 2]
My Savior keeps gettin' nearer
Readin' the Psalms and I'm learnin' how to praise
James says God's book is a mirror
Wanna raise high both my hands like Dave's
And I’m getting bolder
I might just give a little jump like this
In Psalm 150 it's all there
And in Second Sam-u-el Six
[Chorus 1]
We can't start the choir
We can't start the choir without your part
Lift God's name higher
Even if you're not dancing with the Ark
[Bridge]
You sing along with the oldies
'Cause you know them so well and it's okay
But take a song that is holy
How come, baby, you're not so free
[Verse 3]
Stay in your seats with heads down
But when you party you're up all night
You say it’s not the same Sunday
Hey, baby, you best read Psalm 149
The time to dance is happenin'
I think it's written down here, yeah, it's right in this book
It’s in Ecclesiastes
C'mon, chapter 3, give it just one look
[Chorus 2]
We can't start the choir
Sittin' around -- quiet -- in the cold and dark
Lift God's name higher
Even if you're not dancing with the Ark
[Chorus 3]
Can't start the choir
Worryin' 'bout your linen robe fallin' apart
Lift God's name higher
Even if you're not dancing with the Ark
[Outro Tag]
Even if you're not dancing with the Ark
Even if you're not dancing with the Ark
Even if you're not dancing with the Ark
Hey baby!
