Petra - Seen and Not Heard lyrics

rate me

Words and music by Bob Hartman

Based on Matthew 7:3,5, James 1:2, Matthew 5:16

Too many black sheep in the family

Too many stones from a house of glass

They've heard the story, they've heard the lines

But talk is too cheap to change their minds

They want to see some vital signs

Convictions - in the way we live

Convictions - not a narrative

Actions speak a little louder than words

(Chorus)

Seen and not heard, seen and not heard

Sometimes God's children should be seen and not heard

There's too much talk and not enough walk

Sometimes God's children should be seen and not heard

Delayed reaction to hostility

Brings us into reality

Cause when we answer in our defense

They can see through the false pretense

They want to see some evidence

Commitment - no more alibis

Commitment - not a compromise

Actions speak a little louder than words

Let your light so shine in all you do

With an answer near when they come to you

Don't let your mouth start talkin'

Until your feet start walkin'
