Seen And Not Heard Lyrics

Seen And Not Heard lyrics

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'
