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
