Wynonna Judd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You told me that you needed a friend
You told me that you wanted somebody to stay with you
Somebody to stick with you to the end
So let me introduce you to someone who knows you
He knew you before you got your name
He's closer than a brother more than your father
Dance! Shout!
Come on everybody lets turn His praises out
Dance! Shout!
Come on everybody it's all worked out
It's all so very simple! It's all so very plain!
You don't need nobody to explain!
When you believe in your heart that Jesus is Lord
You will know for yourself that you've been born again!
When we get to glory we will tell the story
Of how we lived in this world below
My soul will look back and wonder
How I made it over
But when I see His face that's when I will know

The singer then introduces them to Jesus as someone who knew them before they even got their name. The lyrics describe Jesus as being closer than a brother and more than a father, suggesting the deep level of intimacy and familiarity that one can experience through a relationship with Him.
The chorus of the song encourages listeners to dance and shout in praise and turn their praises out. The lyrics describe the act of praising Jesus and acknowledging his love and presence to be simple and plain. The message is that when one believes in their heart that Jesus is Lord, they will know that they have been born again. The song ends on the idea that when people reach glory, they will share stories of how they lived in this world, but only when they see Jesus' face will they truly know what it all means.
