Petra - Magic Words lyrics

Words and music by Rob Frazier

Say the magic words

I won't say the magic words to please you

'Cause you might decide to judge me

By what I say to you and not what I do

Hide behind my words

I won't hide behind my words carefully

Cause I'd rather let you see me

For what I am and not what you hope that I'll be

(Chorus)

"I want you to be free,"

Jesus said that to me

Why should things that we say

Have to get in the way

Say the proper words

I won't say the proper words to belong

But I'll speak and then I'll listen

And let Jesus make the tie strong

Play the proper words

I won't play the proper words like a game

Cause we'd better have in common

A lot more than words to call the body our name

Why can't we deal in spirit

Not empty words and phrases

That we've learned to recognize

But barely understand

Designed to reassure us

That if words are in their places

Than our hearts must be there too

We really must understand

Whoa!

That's not the way it should be

Say the magic words

Say the magic words

Don't say the magic words

Please don't say the magic words

Please don't

Please don't say the magic words

Say the magic words

Say the magic words
