This was taped in Houston by some wonderful visionaries at Second Baptist Church. To us here in the city, many familiar faces light up the screen. You don’t have to know them to wish you were one of them, though! One of these days, we Siestas will all gather out on a big field and dance our feet off over the grace and glory of Jesus Christ. He is risen!
I love you guys so much.
Beth
“UP FROM THE GRAVE HE ROSE AGAIN!!! And as He stands in victory, sin’s curse has lost it’s grip on me. For I am his, and He is mine, bought with the precious blood of Christ!”
Happy Easter Beth and Siestas! ♥
Glorious celebration!
Let us rise up and praise HIS holy name that HE is Alive!
Amen and amen.
Dance right out of our shoes!
Love and thanks to you Beth!
Fabulous! Thanks for sharing this.
He is Risen INDEED!! People of the Lord, RISE UP!!
A Blessed Easter, dear Beth and Siestas!
Melana 🙂
WoW! Awesome
Oh my goodness! This is how we are supposed to rejoice EVERY day, from EVERY creed, EVERY age, EVERY race and in EVERY circumstance! THANK YOU JESUS!!
Happy, Glorious Easter! He Lives! May His love fill your day! Praise, Honour, and Glory be to our Father. May we adore Him today. May we worship in Spirit and in Truth for He alone is Glorious, Wonderful, and Faithful.
May we adore You today, Lord, and honour YOU. May we worship You alone. Keep us from self-indulgence and self-seeking pleasure in worship. May we die to self, so that You may live. Draw near and may our worship be Your delight today … a sweet and fragrant offering. Thank you for your magnificent work and sacrifice for us. Oh, we love You and adore You today. In Your saving, loving, all-powerful, and redeeming Name, we pray. Hallelujah, the stone was rolled away!

Praying for you, dear Beth, and all my Siestas. May we rejoice in our Savior’s victory and our redemption.
My love to all!! Sister Lynn
“We are Easter people…”! Wow. Thank you, Sister Lynn. That’s profound. And True.
Wow! I’m in tears. Thank you for sharing. God bless you on this glorious resurrection day.
AMEN AND AMEN!!!! AMEN AND AMEN!!!!!!!
Crying. Grateful. Joyful. Amazed. Ready to dance….
And to give. In the Name of Jesus.
Thank you, Beth, Amanda & Melissa and LPM Ministries, for all that you do for us.
My heart overflows thinking how incredible it is that all God’s people around the WORLD will be celebrating His resurrection this morning. In Africa, Asia, Europe, and all across the states, including in my city of Seattle, WA. Lord, today, may YOU be lifted up. And may You draw all people unto You. Amen.
At Saturday church last night they had a small group of people do the dance as the video played to start the service. It was awesome! Death is dead!!!!!!!
LOVE IT! I agree with ForeverHis and Lauren… joyful tears are flowing….
Thanks for sharing, Beth – not only this incredible video, but thank you for sharing your life in order to advance His Kingdom. Through your obedience to God, you have helped me see many things in ways and my life is not the same. May God continue to pour His Spirit over you, and may we all strive to glorify our Sovereign God.
I cannot wait to gather and dance with all the Siestas! What fun that would be!
lets do it! Schedule now for next Easter.
ME TOO!!! I think this calls for VACA to Houston for the Siesta girls!!!
Thanks for the perfect way to end our Easter Day. RISE UP!
Amen! I was soooo blessed – as I am home recovering from surgery and so wanted to be in church this a.m. Thank you – some day I will be able to sing and dance like that! Hallelujah on this His Resurrection Day! He is Risen Indeed! Amen!!
happy resurrection day to you as well my sweet siesta sister! May God continue to bless you as you teach us His words and lessons! God Bless!!
Awesome testimony! Last scene made me cry. Thanks for sharing.

That is just the best news ever!
Thank you Beth for sharing this with all of us! That was awesome, I too was in tears. Praise The Lord He is Risen! Happy Easter Beth, Melissa, and Amanda and all my fellow Siestas! I hope everyone has a blessed day!
This video has been going around on email here in Atlanta. It brought tears to my eyes; I was “dancing” with them in spirit. A glorious picture of a future day when throngs of us will be dancing before Jesus to worship Him. Hallelujah! He is Alive!!
Wow! Just as David danced before the Lord, so we too can dance before him with rejoicing! I wish I had been there.
He is risen, indeed!! Video makes me want to move my crew to Houston… or at least boogie here in DC for Jesus! Lord knows this city could use a proper praise boogie. Happy, HAPPY EASTER, Siestaville! May His resurrection power move freely through your homes and cities this day! LOVE to you!
Love you too Beth…
This video makes my heart happy… I want to get up and dance too…Have a wonderful Easter with your family 🙂
Praise God and Jesus for new life and sins forgiven! It does give us a reason to dance! Happy Easter to you, Beth and your sweet family and to all siestas! In Jesus’ Love, Kathy
HE IS NOT HERE…HE IS RISEN JUST AS HE SAID.
Oh Beth. I hope we get another emotion when we get to heaven. The ones I’m held to now just don’t seem to do it justice.
What a wonderful time they must have had filming this video. Happy Easter!! Thank for all you do in the name of our Lord Jesus. So thankful for His love, His forgiveness and His presence.
I rewrote some the words that go with the song “I hope you dance” to make into Christian words:
.
I hope you never lose your spirit of love
You get your fill to holiness but always keep the faith
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid you follow your own way and be left empty-hearted.
I hope you still feel His presence when you stand to look at what He has done
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise Him that you will give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to choose I hope you think to pray
I hope you pray
I hope you pray
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path that leads to temptation
Living might mean taking chances but they’re worth making
Lovin’ God will lead a way that is worth taking
Don’t let some others lead you astray
When you come close to selling out reconsider
Give the Lord up above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to choose I hope you think to pray
I hope you pray
(Time is constantly running away)
I hope you pray
(Passing us by)
I hope you pray
(You will not want to look back over the years and wonder)
I hope you pray
(Where those years have gone)
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path that leads to temptation
Living might mean taking chances but they’re worth making
Lovin’ God will lead a way that is worth taking
I love your lyrics and focus Joyce. Thank you so much!
Beth, thank you for posting this. This soooo spoke to my heart!! JESUS IS ALIVE!! Praise God!!
It was wonderful to see so many, who love Jesus, everyone so different, but together, praising Him!! I Love it!!
I am probably one of the few following that blog who doesn’t speak English as a first language. I am French. But I have done most of your Bible studies, Beth, either with friends or alone and I LOVE them. My husband and I are missionaries with an American mission and we have been back in France for a couple of years. The spiritual need in France is very high.
I don’t know if the inspiration for the Resurrection Dance in Houston came from this one below. But it might be. This happened last year in Budapest and the video was seen around the world. In the original version, the singing is in Hungarian.

I will be in Budapest next Sunday and will be at church with these people. Praise the Lord!
Thank you for the great sharing that you do through the blog.
Much Love in Jesus.

Thank you, Francoise. Loved it! “…from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.” Rev 5:9
Makes me want to set my feet a dancin’! He is risen indeed.
Jan
We must rise up and declare Him King of kings and Lord of lords of our hearts.
This video was very moving!! What a day that will be, when we dance for Jesus.
Happy Easter Ladies.
Shannon
Alleluia!
Thank you, Lord Jesus, for this great gift of salvation.
He is risen, indeed!
Thanks for sharing this Beth! I want to be in such a crowd some day!
amen and Amen and AMEN! He is risen indeed! Being a Houstonian, I recognize this lovely park as Discovery Green. And I can guarantee you that it has and never will EVER be as beautiful as it was the day of this dance. Unless they do another dance there!
I like those dancing Baptists!!!! Yeah- I can’t wait to dance with my Siestas one day. Thank you
what? are those really Baptists dancing? (teehee 😉
As much as I LOVED watching the young woman dance who opened this video, I REALLY LOVED watching everyone else dance; different ages different ethnicity; different genders!!!
Oh happy day when we will all dance in praise and adoration to the KING!
He is Risen indeed!
That is awesome and so fun to watch!!! Thanks for sharing.
Jesus is Alive!!!
oh, what a Glorious Day!!! my heart wants to burst with JOY!! He is RISEN!!!
i’m dancing and rejoicing with you all in my heart!
Oh my that was an awesome video, the last part brought tears to my eyes one day we will dance in the heavens with Jesus thank you Lord that you are alive and because You are alive we live.The song we sang in church this morning just brought chills all over me it was
(I AM)
I Am the Maker of the Heavens
I Am the Bright and Morning Star
I Am the Breath of all Creation
Who always was
And is to come
I Am the One who walked on water
I Am the One who calmed the seas
I Am the miracles and wonders
So come and see
And follow Me
You will know
I Am the Fount of Living Water
The risen Son of Man
The Healer of the Broken
And when you cry
I Am your Savior and Redeemer
Who bore the sins of man
The Author and Perfecter
Beginning and the End
Thank you Siesta Mama for showing this video
Have A Blessed Easter to all the siesta’s
Thank you Lord for Your Son
He is Alive Praise You Jesus
Carol
Awesome! Thank you for sharing. Praise God for those who are willing to rise up & follow Him. Happy Easter to all!
THX. Love it! Wish church was like this every week.
Thank you SOOOOOOOOOO much for sharing this incredible, amazing video! All Glory to Jesus and may it be soon that we all dance together!
Blessed Easter!
That makes my heart sing! The Lord is risen indeed! 🙂
I am not for certain but I think the Houston video may have been inspired by a similar praise event that took place in the town square of Budapest, Hungary on Easter Sunday 2010. If you have a minute, take a look at the video. I promise your heart will be blessed by what God is doing in Hungary.
