If We Are the Body

I heard a great song on the radio today that I’d like to share with you. It asks that if we are truly the body of Christ, why are we not acting like the earthly Jesus Christ would have?

Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. – Romans 12:4-5

I’ve embedded the song below so that you may hear the song and it may push you to improve your daily walk. I’ve also included the lyrics below so you can meditate on the words. Finally, if you’d like to download this song, please visit the iTunes store and purchase it for $0.99.

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)

Jesus paid much too high a price
For us to pick and choose who should come
And we are the body of Christ

(Chorus)

Jesus is the way
