[Spontaneous]
Praise for heaviness
Praise for heaviness
You gotta leave now
Praise for heaviness
Praise for heaviness
Praise for heaviness
Bye, bye heaviness; we were never friends
Praise for heaviness
It’s praise for heaviness
Oh, we set our eyes on You now
Praise for heaviness
You are so good every time, God
(Praise for heaviness)
You are so good every time
Praise for heaviness
You are so good
Praise for heaviness
You are so good all the time
Praise for heaviness

[Spoken]
Alright, so we’re singing about praise for heaviness right?
And I’m going to put it really practical
And I always do this, like you guys literally know what I’m about to say
But there’s something, guys, about dancing
Because, listen
It’s not because, it’s not about an emotion
It’s because when you move your body
Your literally telling your body, “Come under what the Lord is doing in this room right now”
And heaviness is leaving
And sometimes you gotta shake a little bit to get that
Stuff off, you know, it can get so sticky
And so I feel like the easiest way to do that is to look at Him
To tell Him that He’s good
And to dance it off
So I don’t know how much, how long we’ll be here
But I just encourage you
Tell your body, “Come under what God is doing in this room”
And you will leave different from this room
‘Cause He’s here, you know?
So, let’s just see what happens

[Spontaneous]
Praise for heaviness
You’re the leader, I’m just following You
Praise for heaviness
Praise for heaviness
Praise for heaviness
Here we go, 1-2, 1-2-3

[Interlude]

[Spontaneous]
You’re good, You’re good, You’re good
You’re good, You’re good, You’re good
You’re good, You’re good, You’re good
You’re good
Sing it out, You’re good
You’re good (You’re good)
You’re good, You’re good
Oh this is it
You’re good, You’re good, You’re good
It’s the truth now
You’re good, You’re good, You’re good
Oh we’re singing truth and the truth sets us free
You’re good
Come on, sing it out
You’re good, You’re good
Sing it from Your depths, sing it with gusto now: You’re good
You’re good, You’re good, You’re good
You’re good, You’re good
Come on, lift it up, it’s our anthem
You’re good
You’re good
Yes, You are: You’re good
You’re good
You’re good
Good, good, good
You’re good
You’re good

[Interlude]

[Spontaneous]
You’re good, You’re good, You’re good
You’re good, You’re good, You’re good
Come and forget the time [?]
You came and You set me free
You set me free
And I’m singing from the place of knowing [?]
That there’s no impossibilities, there are no impossibilities for the living God
So no matter what we keep carrying in this place
I know that You’re good, You’re good, You’re good
You’re good, look at what You did
You’re good, You’re good, You’re good
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, whoo
Oh we celebrate You
We celebrate You
You are the leader
You’re the [?], oh
You’re good, You’re good, You’re good
You’re good, You’re good
Keep singing it
You’re good…
