Sunday Shoes Dancing

Service done, but the spirit's still high
Sunday shoes dancing

Choir spilled out singing, still holding the note
Deacon loosened his tie, Auntie waved her coat
The tarmac became the aisle, the road became the pew
Somebody's polished Sunday shoe started something new
A tambourine came out of a handbag, right on cue
We prayed through the pressure all the week gone by
Now the piano hit the pavement and the block replied
If heaven's got a dance floor, we're rehearsing outside

If grace ever carried you this far (this far)
Take the praise to the street

Sunday shoes dancing (dancing)
Amen had rhythm (amen)
If grace brought us this far
Let the log drum ring (let it ring)

Hey! Sunday shoes (shoes)
Hey! Sunday shoes (shoes)
Amen had rhythm, go (go)
Amen had rhythm, go (go)

Little sister in her white socks spinning round
Grandpa's cane is keeping time on the ground
Choir robes swaying like flags in the sun
The usher and the choirmaster dancing as one
This ain't leaving church behind, this is church walked out
Same praise, a wider room, and the drum found the shout
The organ's in the chapel but the beat's in the street
And a sanctified Sunday's got its own two feet

If grace ever carried you this far (this far)
Take the praise to the street

Sunday shoes dancing (dancing)
Amen had rhythm (amen)
If grace brought us this far
Let the log drum ring (let it ring)

I don't leave my faith inside a wooden door
The God of the altar's on the concrete floor
So if my shoes are dancing, it's a prayer with feet
Every step's a thank-you laid down on the street

Who prayed through a hard week? (I did)
Who's still standing by grace? (I am)
Who brought their dancing shoes? (We did)
Then praise it on the road (go)

Sunday shoes dancing (dancing)
Amen had rhythm (amen)
If grace brought us this far
Let the log drum ring (ring it out)

Sunday shoes dancing (dancing)
Amen had rhythm (amen)
If grace brought us this far
Let the log drum ring (ring it out)

Shoes all dusty now, worth every step
Sunday shoes dancing
