Song 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 arent His arms reaching 
why arent His hands healing 
why arent His words teaching 
and if we are the body 
why arent 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 tell him that his chances 
are better out on the road 

CHORUS 
But if we are the body 
why arent His arms reaching 
why arent His hands healing 
why arent His words teaching 
and if we are the body 
why arent 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) 
But if we are the body 
why arent His arms reaching 
why arent His hands healing 
why arent His words teaching 
and if we are the body 
why arent His feet going 
why is His love not showing them there is a way 

Jesus is the way

This song is kind of a spiritual pump-up song. We really are the body of Christ. What kind of body have we become? I don't want to be a paralyzed body and not do anything. I want to reach the lost and reach out to the lost like we are supposed to! Get moving for Christ!!!

I 1st heard this song when I was riding in the car w/ 1 of my youth pastors. I really like this song cuz it tells us that we need to be a working body of Christ & not one that just sits around not telling any1 about Christ. we need to tell ppl cuz the gift of salvation is the best gift. I reallY LUV this song.

OMGosh I LOVE this song. Some one from my church gave my mom the cd and ever scence the 1st time i heard it when ever my mom cant find the cd im the one who has it.. i have memorised the whole cd.. Exspeicaly this song...its completely tru! if only everyone brought there faith together "the body" would be complete. The body, could reach those in need of christ.. Help those to chirst for healing no earthly medicine can give.. Teach those who need to learn that god will always be there no matter what situation your in and that he forgives, and understands no one is perfect!

Jesus Christ is the man. he saved my life.

This is an amazing song. However, it is very critical to the church, if we are the body of christ why aren't we reaching out and helping people? My church is a great example, we go on missions trips, but we don't reach out to our own members, this song tells us we have to help EVERYBODY, no matter who they are!

This is one of my fave songs because it adresses the way churches are today. I played it in class for devotions cause i had to tell the class to actually start acting Christian had being nice to eachother. I think it really touched their hearts. I know it definately touched mine, and i respect ppl now no matter who they are.
