If We Are The Body

I am not a Christian radio gal. Mostly because of my lack of a radio. My musical selection comes from compiled artists that friends suggested to me while on the World Race. That is where my collection of christian songs ends. Last Sunday, since I work almost every Sunday, I had Pandora on the christian music station and was waiting to play the latest message from Bill Johnson, when a song from Casting Crowns came on. I have absolutely no idea whether this song is old or new, but it’s message is valuable. I thought I would share it with you today. Please suggest songs and artists for me here as well. :

 

IF WE ARE THE BODY

 

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 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 is the way
