Sunday Music

Our praise band did a great song during the offering in 9:45 worship this week. It is a song they were working on and I asked if they might do it during our stewardship of service emphasis. It is not typical worship song since it is somewhat confessional nature. It asks the question, if we are truly the body of Christ, why aren't we doing more?

For those of you who attend 8:30 or 11:00 service, or those at 9:45 who didn't quite catch the lyrics, I am posting them here.

CASTING CROWNS- If We Are The Body
Album : Casting Crowns (2003)

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

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 tell 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 too high a price
for us to pick and choose who should come
and we are the body of Christ

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 is the way


peace,

will
