As she slips in trying to fade into the faces
The girls' teasing laughter is carying farther than they know
Farther than they know
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 judgemental glances tells him that his chances
Are better out on the road
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 to high a price for us to pick and choose who should come
And we are the body of Christ
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
If we are the body
Why aren't His arms reaching
Why aren't His hands healing
Why aren't His word 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
It's crowded in worship today As she slips in trying to fade into the faces The girls' teasing laughter is carying farther than they know Farther than they know 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 judgemental glances tells him that his chances Are better out on the road 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 to high a price for us to pick and choose who should come And we are the body of Christ 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 If we are the body Why aren't His arms reaching Why aren't His hands healing Why aren't His word 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 Explain Request ×
