Get Up (Remix)
Song Meaning
PlanetShakers keep the lyric almost entirely imperative rather than descriptive: "everybody get up, if you love Him... get up and praise Him." There's no verse building toward the instruction; the instruction is the whole song.
"With every breath that I take, I'll praise You... with everything that I am, I'll praise You, 'cause there is no other way" narrows praise down to something total rather than partial, covering breath and movement together rather than treating worship as just a mental posture.
The psalmist's charge to bless the Lord with all that is within him gives that line its exact source, and David's own dancing before the Lord backs up a song built entirely around physical response rather than quiet reflection. "We stand together with hearts joined as one" turns individual praise into something communal by the second verse, refusing to let worship stay a private matter for long.
Everybody get up
If you love Him
E-e-e-everybody get up
If you love Him
Everybody get up
If you love Him
E-e-e-everybody get up
Get up and praise Him
Everybody get up
If you're free
Everybody get up
If you love Him
A-a-and dance
With every breath that I take, I'll praise You
With every move that I make
With everything that I am, I'll praise You
'Cause there is no other way
We stand together
With hearts joined as one
And we'll give You glory
For all You have done
Everybody get up
If you love Him
Everybody get up
If you love Him
E-e-e-everybody get up
Get up and praise Him
Everybody get up
If you're free
And give Him the praise
And dance
Everybody get up
If you love Him
E-e-e-everybody get up
Get up and praise Him
Everybody get up
If you're free
And give Him the praise
And dance
Everybody get up
If you love Him
E-e-e-everybody get up
Get up and praise Him
Everybody get up
If you're free
And give Him the praise
And dance
