"At first glance, this seems such a throwaway
silly song that it's possible to completely miss the deeper message
of it. Basically, this is a life-changing lyric dressed in a silly
'50s drape jacket. It's a hugely danceable retro slice of
rock'n'roll which at the Grapevine event had worshipers jiving
joyfully in the aisles. It's what I'd call a Marmite song - you
either love it or hate it. I love it but my wife Pippa hates it and
complains every time I play it! Lyrically it reminds us that we can
experience the glory of God everywhere in life and not just in
church services so whether we're at the dentist's or sitting in the
kitchen, we need to be taking the glory of God with us. I
particularly like it when at 1.44 into the song Godfrey shouts out
"get on your dancing shoes!" Listen and decide to experience God's
glory on the bus to work!"
