if we are the body...


heyy hunnies!!! well its my first post... imagine that! yeah well anyways, im just bored, sitting here on the computer(obviosly). anyhooo... about that title... well its actually a song by casting crowns. its a really good song, here are the lyrics:


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


yeah... so those are them... the lyrics just really made me think. ha, its just like what leanne was saying yesterday bout love... we really need to show that love to everyone around us. what a challenge. we need those arms to be reaching, those hands to be healing, and those words to be teaching. i think that we need to put this body to work.
