Chris Tomlin's song expresses a passionate, unreserved devotion to God, using the imagery of dancing and singing for the King. The lyrics emphasize a willingness to appear foolish or undignified in the eyes of others for the sake of worship. The repeated line about leaving pride aside reflects a theme of humility and total surrender. The song draws on the biblical idea of worship that is not concerned with appearances, similar to King David's uninhibited dancing before the Lord. It is a call to wholehearted, joyful praise that prioritizes God's glory over human opinion.

I will dance I will sing to be mad for my King
Nothing Lord is hindering the passion in my soul
I will dance I will sing to be mad for my King
Nothing Lord is hindering the passion in my soul
I will dance I will sing to be mad for my King
Nothing Lord is hindering the passion in my soul
I will dance I will sing to be mad for my King
Nothing Lord is hindering the passion in my soul
And I'll become even more undignified than this,
Some would say it's foolishness but,
I'll become even more undignified than this
I will dance I will sing to be mad for my King
Nothing Lord is hindering the passion in my soul
I will dance I will sing to be mad for my King
Nothing Lord is hindering the passion in my soul
And I'll become even more undignified than this,
Some would say it's foolishness but,
I'll become even more undignified than this
Leave my pride by my side
And I'll become even more undignified than this,
Some would say it's foolishness but,
I'll become even more undignified than this
Leave my pride by my side, yeah
And I'll become even more undignified than this,
Some would say it's foolishness but,
I'll become even more undignified than this
Leave my pride by my side
It's all for You, my Lord!
