Lyrics
Ref_1
That day will be remembered as the greatest day in history
The fate of the world changed in one glorious moment
When Life triumphed on Resurrection Sunday
Verse_1
The hope of a people searching for life
The day will be brighter
The message of freedom rings in the sky
Spreading the fire
The flag of a nation ready to fly
Taking them higher
The heart of a land that rises to fight
Full of desire
When nothing is as you want it to be
Look up to heaven
Freedom was paid for on Calvary
The chain is broken
Making a way right to destiny
Borders are open
And Jesus has granted the victory
That Sunday mornin
Bridge
Joy in this life time, utterly free
More than the world gives, beyond what you see
For nations its time to rise their hope is in Jesus Christ
If the giants come, just hold on, the advantage is now on your side
Jesus, will take the final fight
Ref
A light dawned that Sunday Morning it broke through the boundaries of time
Hearts start shining, calling to all mankind
Lets celebrate eternal life
Verse_2
When nothing is as you want it to be
Look up to heaven
Freedom was paid for on Calvary
The chain is broken
Making a way right to destiny
Borders are open
And Jesus has granted the victory
That Sunday mornin
Bridge
Joy in this life time, utterly free
More than the world gives, beyond what you see
For nations its time to rise their hope is in Jesus Christ
If the giants come, just hold on, the advantage is now on your side
Jesus, will take the final fight
Ref
A light dawned that Sunday Morning it broke through the boundaries of time
Hearts start shining, calling to all mankind
Lets celebrate eternal life
Rap
1, When something in you, says youre not through, something whispers, you need to go too
2, you say that things just cant stay this way, your heart is calling may day may day
3, world is just trouble, get out of your muddle, jump, nows the time, take your chance on the double.
4, Leave it behind, youll see you wont mind, once you meet Jesus the answer youll find
5, Dont google your noodle, or consult your poodle, just follow your heart and it will be super
6, Wake up, see the light, find new life in His life, with Him in sight He'll take you to new heights
7, The rescues begun, now Someones come, be looking to the sky but not for Air Force One
8. The way out is up; up up and away, with Jesus today is Independence day
Ref
Hearts start shining, calling to all mankind
Lets celebrate eternal life
A light dawned that Sunday Morning it broke through the boundaries of time
Hearts start shining, calling to all mankind
Lets celebrate
Lets celebrate
Lets celebrate eternal life

Christian brothers and sisters in Hungary. You have inspired us! May our Lord bless your movement and make it grow worldwide. We in the US have lost our way as a country and we sorely need your example.

[@ks9391]

From an old guy age 63 in Berryton KS, USA, wow, another group of awesome youth showing you can have fun in the name of Christ, start right, play right, end right, congrats on a great start..and thanks for including some of us older folks in the dance, bet they had more fun than they've had in years...

[@slvgrace]

This video is absolutely WONDERFUL!! I have watched it 5 times already. I am so proud of these individuals who stand up for the Resurrected King. I hope and pray we will see this movement spread throughout the United States. There is no good reason why we can celebrate the Resurrected King in every city in this nation. God bless all of you who stand for the only true living God.

[@ste9313]

Praise be to God. Jesus is with us. Fantastic!!!!

[@catpet2]

Amazing video! Wish we could do that all over the world!! Please keep me informed. I was dancing in my chair!! Thanks for this . I want to see more dancing for Jesus!! He is awesome and we should dance and praise Him always.. God Bless and again, thanks.

[@johndeweb]

I 'm in tears of joy, & proud to be a USA HUNGARIAN! WE ARE AN ARMY OF LAMBS!

[@gnol6ffej]

This movie immediately transports me to that future kingdom where we'll all be able to dance together... millions, from every tribe, nation, kindred and tongue. I love those Hungary brothers and sisters and feel like one of them. I wish I were in their church, but in Spirit, I am. I would be totally at home... same joy, same gratitude, same sacrifice of praise. One of these days I will dance with them. But not here. I'm 58. Imagine Christians all over the world doing this. Sign me up.

[@PureRandomnessFilms]

This is so powerful! It's God helping ALL these people doing so good in this dance! They did amazing. I love watching this over and over. Can you imagine God watching THIS from Heaven?!

[@jcbsr]

Hallalujah! Glory to God in the Highest!!! This made me smile so much that my jaws are aching!! Thank you ... Thank you ALL :-)

[@ChicReal]

The pure love of God binds us together! ♥ Let us continue to love, edify and encourage one another through our love for God as we are all one family in JESUS CHRIST our LORD & SAVIOUR. This is a great testimony and amazing demonstration for our LORD GOD in Budapset. God bless & Godspeed from the USA! ♥

[@curly2327]

Praise the Lord! He is risen! To see this event in Budapest, Hungary makes me rejoice. Rejoice that they have the answer. Let's go America! Spread the word. We need to make this the #1 requested video on You tube. We need to have this enthusiasm in every city in the U.S. and the world. I can't wait to see what is next from Faith Church.

[@SaveUncleSam]

May God bless our brothers and sisters in Hungary. God was certainly smiling upon you this day!!! Your Brother's and Sister's in Christ, USA

[@Mithrandir1776]

Hallelujah! To know that Jesus Christ is glorified all over the world warms my heart!

[@funkysingyteacher]

I was feeling a bit down tonight when I came across this video sent to me by a friend. What a wonderful lift it gave me and i was moved to tears to see so many YOUNG people freely dancing doing actions and singing for Jesus in Hungary. Why can't such things happen in Britain and all over the world? What a wonderfully organised spectacle and a great song to go with it. Thankyou for giving me inspiration and people all round the world. Keep up with that message of Jesus; WELL DONE EVERY ONE!

[@GodsSeer]

Beautiful Faces of so many young people who are not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ. It would be an honor to meet any of them. May the Lord fulfill all your purpose. It is so edifying to watch.

[@addysea]

It is an inspiration to all of us in the Church in the United States! Christ is Risen!!

[@DBMillard]

Wonderful! This was truly inspiring to see our Hungarian brothers and sisters in Christ expressing their love for Christ in this way.

[@Gilliegirl15]

i get chills everytime I watch this. It makes me look forward to the day we can all dance together in heaven. :)

[@TheSycamoreChurch]

What a wonderful video! We are making a version of the dance as an inspiration and thank you for how the Lord is working all over the world . We hope these effort will begin a celebration response all across the world.

[@LindaCricet1315]

What an awesome video!!! It is liberating and joyful ... what an idea to have all major cities do this once a year in the streets!!! A true celebration of eternal life that breaks through all boundaries of denominations, reminding us that in heaven there are only 'Believers.' Would be great for someone to spearhead this DANCE in our city, so I am sharing it on my Facebook for others to see. The music sets you free in the Spirit!!!! Woohoo! Love you, Jesus!

[@same5977]

My Grandparents and Father came from Hungary, I visited a few years ago. What a blessing. God is so Faithful. Thank You for being a bright light in your land !!!!!!

[@Two6s]

I love seeing brothers and sisters in Christ praising the Lord! Like rsaran below, I look forward to dancing and singing with all of you in heaven one day!!

[@croppincolburn]

Wahoo! Nothing better than sharing about Jesus through movement. Choreographers, dancers, Flag, and the rest of the team all did an awesome job!

[@elbsing]

My father was a Hungarian Baptist minister who came to the US in 1950. He went to be with the Lord in 1982. I know this video would have given him MUCH joy as he had a tremendous burden for the Hungarian people. I share his burden, and LOVE hearing praise to the Lord in the Hungarian accent!! We continue to pray for Christians all around the globe, but especially those dear to us in Hungary!!

[@Char61Klink]

Being a christian in the USA had been disheartening these past few years. Watching this view gave so much HOPE and encouragement. Thank you Pastor for not giving up when Hungary government came against you and the church because we are experiencing your faithfulness to Jesus and His church. My heart is full with renew joy and hope knowing Jesus is King over all

[@jesus4everr]

Super! Super! Super! All glory to God!!!

[@dkrauland]

While visiting family in Hungary 38 years ago we attended Sunday Mass. My uncle, who had a government job, could not attend with us for fear of retaliation if someone spotted him worshipping. What a beautiful site to see that you may praise God in public. It is great to see how far your country has come. God does wonderous deeds!

[@sandynoLen]

That is the most terrific thing I've seen for Christ in a long time!! Praise God and his children in Budapest!!

[@manuela-grace]

Awesome!!!!!! Wonderful!!!! Stunning!!!! Your church is such a huge blessing for Hungary! Lots of love to all of you from Vienna/Austria

[@jmcoxjr]

What beacon of hope and life! Thank you Faith Church. At a time when our western, Christian civilization is sliding toward chaos, you give me hope for Old Europe and even the USA.

[@sandieg2825]

This is magnificent! It is so refreshing to see that your Country believes as we Christians do. What a wonderful, wonderful video that all ages got together to do this. I just feel so good watching it. I just keep playing it over and over again. I have saved this in my favorites folder so I will never lose it. Congratulations on making one of the best videos I have ever seen. I look forward to everything that you do.

[@createdimage]

Great song! Thank you so much for sharing this picture of God's working in your country. My joy overflows to see the certain hope in your faces. I am praying God brings me to dance with you next year...if not this life time, soon!

[@deeyoshimura102288]

Wonderful video demonstration of faith from our brothers and sisters in Christ in Budapest! We join in your joy at Christ's resurrection! May God bless you and this video as it encourages Christians around the world!

[@deputysheriff100]

I am a Southern Baptist from Georgia (USA). I LOVE this video. The music, lyrics everything. The music is great. I catch myself singing this song during the day whem I'm at work. AND... IF YOU WILL TAKE CLOSE NOTICE.. everyone of the people are SMILING.....JESUS, Sweetest Name I Know

[@erosquillo]

This is awesome! The thing I really noticed is how clean and neat all of people are. No low cut clothing, no tatoos, no piercings, no saggy pants, no grafetti, and all are dancing and praising Jesus. This is very uplifting. Thank You Budapest you represent the Lord well. Bless you.

[@NeitherSavageNorWise]

WOW! That was amazing!!!! I love how the man waving his country's flag moves about during the dance - that must have been an awesome feeling holding your country's flag and representing Christ - great job you guys!!! God Bless!

[@LadyTygress]

This is incredible! A friend shared the video on a forum and I've now added it to my favorites on here as well as sent my email for updates when the website is finished. What an awesome way to minister to people! I'm truly inspired!

[@MaDie1168]

I'm preparing this with church kids for the Easter retreat that's coming up soon. Let us spread this wonderful message everywhere!

What a blessing! With the USA and most of the world turning from God, it is gives us encouragement to see a former Communist Country like Hungary turning toward Him. I would love to see a revival like this come to North America. May God continue to bless you all abundantly.

[@katyladybird]

Watching this makes me feel happy for being Hungarian! Finally...

[@littlemommaluvsJesus]

I have posted you on my "Wall" for everyone to see. The Song, The Dance, The Smiles were wonderful!!! I also sent you to everyone on my email list!!! Love, Your Sister in Christ, Judy Foster

[@medviser]

Hi, folks I am a catholic who is devoted to the ecomenic movements since we are all the members of the body of Jesus Christ. I found this video very moving and reinforced how much we can learn from each others in term of evangelisation, spreading the words of Jesus Christ. If we concentrate on the common denominator ( Jesus Christ) and ignore the differences than we can move mountains in the power of the Holy Spirit/ Ghost. God Bless you all Gyorgy

[@ThisgirllovestheUSA]

That was AWESOME!!! Great job on both song and dance. UP WITH JESUS !!!

[@rutmartfa]

Awesome, gorgeous!!!!, God Bless you, greetings from Mexico

You don't have to be a follower of their faith to find this beautiful and inspirational. I wish every religion could be this expressive and open and united in sharing their faith with the world. Very well done, it made me cry.
