Say the Word
by DC Talk

Album: Greatest Hits 2007
by DC Talk

Solomon once wrote
Better is open rebuke
than hidden love
So say the words
Silence is golden
but these are the words that the world needs to hear
Terms of compassion will cause a reaction
As love draws them near
But still we choose to hide
Behind the face of pride
Pretending we are blind to the calling
This is my point and case
If hate can be erased
With such a simple phrase
Why are we stalling

Say the words, say the words, say I love you
Say the words I long to hear
Say the words, say the words, say I love you
Say the words I long to hear

Some just assume we already know
of the love that they feel
Some have a heart-felt emotion
But never the words to reveal
I think we all relate so why are we afraid
to let our hearts convey what we're feeling
There is a world in need
With hungry souls to feed
And love can intercede
If we're willing

The word love
Well it was once over-used
Back in the '70's the word was abused
But I refuse to let love be diluted
We can't allow physical lust to intrude it
Or pollute it 'cause there ain't no excuse
For the greatest gift of all to be abused
So choose to lose the pride that may tug at you
Don't be afraid of the words "I love you"
