'Dancing in the Streets' music video Stephen Bennett

Imagine the whole world dancing, all at the same time, in all the cities and towns of the world. Not like a mardi gras or drunken festival, but dancing in a prophetic call - to worship the creator of the earth in abandoned creative dance. An ambitious vision perhaps in reality, but potentially definitely more fun than a march or demonstration. Stephen wrote this song over a time of several ministry visits to Spain, writing songs with a latin rhythmic feel. An unplugged version of this song is also on the awesome city music web site recorded with gypsies in Valencia Spain.

This video was recorded in the nineties at the mainstage CrossRhythms festival in England. Stephen sang it un-rehearsed with Tony Loefflers band the Blue Angels from New York. The sound track was unmixed straight off the main desk and was not originally intended for music video quality, but the spirit of joy, fun and reverence in the song has been captured.

Twenty-five years ago in much of the western church, dance was still considered an area of potential sin and not something to pursue. However, like many areas of the arts today, God is raising up many Christian artists to just be themselves and creative in the genres they are passionate about. March for Jesus was popular all over the world 15 years ago, but maybe someone can see this prophetic dream of Stephen Bennetts, where people in all the nations will dance in their streets with wild abandon to God, with all their might like King David of old (2 Samuel 6:16) so...Dance!

DANCING IN THE STREETS
Jesus (or Do Wah) I can know Him now
Jesus (or Do Wah) I the search is over now
There are so many colours free from the pain
As real as the passion in Spain
Everybodys dancing in the streets
Everybodys dancing in the streets
All the nations dancing in the streets

Jesus (or Do Wah) you can know Him now
Jesus (or Do Wah) you can know Him now
Its the truth like summer warm as the rain
As real as the passion in Spain
Everybodys dancing in the streets
Everybodys dancing in the streets
All the nations dancing in the streets
Dance!

Find someone and spin them round
See the stars and know youre found
Lift youre hands and feel the groove
Whole world waiting for His Body to move
And when you look your brother in the eye
Dry the tears and step outside
Everybodys dancing in the streets
Everybodys dancing in the streets
All the nations dancing in the streets
Dance!
