Clear the Stage

My daughter and her dance company danced to this song last night at a dance convention.
I absolutely LOVE the dance- it is absolutely beautiful.  
So beautiful that although I've seen them do the dance before, 
I cry every single time. 

The song is Clear the Stage by Jimmy Needham 
and it's a truly amazing song with such a powerful message. 
My favorite lyrics are: 
Take a break from all the plans that you have made, and 
sit home alone and wait for God to whisper

Beg him please to open his mouth and speak and pray for 
real upon your knees until they blister

Shine the light on every corner of your life until the 
pride, and lust, and lies are in the open

Then read the word and put to test the things you’ve 
heard until your heart and soul are stirred and rocked and broken

Cause you can sing all you want to
Oh you can sing all you want to
You can sing all you want to, and still get it wrong
Oh worship is more than a song

We must not worship something that’s not even worth it

Clear the stage, make some space, for the one who deserves it
