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

this is such a true song about how we all act. we are suppose to be the body of Christ, yet we are too selfish to change the world. we won't tell someone about Christ because "it's out of our comfort zone." we don't show Christ's love to someone because "they annoy us" or "they will think we are weird." that's the thing though, it's Christ's love, not ours. Christ's love is selfless, not selfish. Christ's love saved people from sin, people who hated him. Who are we to say that someone is too difficult to receive his love. We are just as difficult, just as sinful. We need to reach more, heal more, teach more, love more. not because of us, but because of Christ.
