Beautiful Tension - Seen Lyrics

We can talk about changing the world
Or the hearts we want to reach
But what is it worth if we stop at words and don't practice what we preach

We could put it in a song or write it in a speech
But I heard that love is a verb and it can't be heard unless its seen

So I don't want to just talk a good game
Talk is cheap in a world that's hurting
What they need to see is a faith that's moving

I wanna be seen and not just heard
I want them to watch me move and not just hear my words

'Want to give more than talk affords
I want them to take my hand before they take my word
I want to be seen
I want to be seen oh

If I only hear your voice but i don't go where I'm led
Then I'm playing a game 'cause the truth is faith without follow through is dead

So I want it to be seen in the life that I have led
'Cause at the end of my years what I'm hoping to hear is well done and not well said

So I don't want to just talk a good game
Talk is cheap in a world that's hurting
What they need to see is a faith that's moving

I wanna be seen and not just heard
I want them to watch me move and not just hear my words

I want to give more than talk affords
I want them to take my hand before they take my word

If they're gonna know we're real by a love that's undeterred
It's gotta be seen and not just heard

I don't want to just talk a good game
Talk is cheap in a world that's hurting

I wanna be
I wanna be
Seen and not just heard (sing it out)

I wanna be
I wanna be
Seen and not just heard

I wanna be seen and not just heard
I want them to watch me move and not just hear my words

I want to give more than talk affords
Let 'em take my hand before they take my word

If they're gonna know we're real by a love that's undeterred
It's gotta be seen and not just heard

I want to be seen and not just heard
