It's crowded in worship today
As she slips in
Trying to fade into the faces
The girls' teasing laughter is carrying farther than they know
Farther than they know
CHORUS
But if we are the Body
Why aren't His arms reaching
Why aren't His hands healing
Why aren't His words teaching
And if we are the Body
Why aren't His feet going
Why is His love not showing them there is a way
There is a way
A traveler is far away from home
He sheds his coat
And quietly sinks into the back row
The weight of their judgmental glances tells him that his chances
Are better out on the road
CHORUS
But if we are the Body
Why aren't His arms reaching
Why aren't His hands healing
Why aren't His words teaching
And if we are the Body
Why aren't His feet going
Why is His love not showing them there is a way
Jesus paid much too high a price
For us to pick and choose who should come
And we are the Body of Christ
Chorus (2x)
If we are the body
Why aren't His arms reaching
Why aren't His hands healing
Why aren't His words
And if we are the body
Why aren't His feet going
Why is His love not showing them there is a way
Jesus is the way
This song really hit me today...it just shows me that even though i say I'm a christian i don't always act it. Like i said before easier said than done. My favorite part is the chorus...why aren't we doing more to show his ways? I know I'm guilty of this i mean i don't want to get made fun of or stand out in the crowd. I don't want to be looked or laughed at. Its crazy how someone will give up their life for us and we don't even have the courage to stand up for him.
True story Q-Tip. I feel many times like I'm not brave enough to stand up for others when they are getting picked on. But you're right if Jesus can die for me, why can't I just say, "Hey, stop it" to some punks.
