If We Are The Body (Casting Crowns)
If We Are The Body - Casting Crowns
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

I know brother. My daughter kept playing that song over and over, and it was just background noise. She kept saying Mom listen to the words. I finally did and it does bring me to tears. Why aren't I?

What an awesome video Jeannie, I often think of the missionaries when I hear this song. But not only missionaries and preachers must be doing. We are the Body! Why aren't we?

Re: If We Are The Body (Casting Crowns)
Listening to this song today reminded me of Rhoni, because she and I met when it came out last year. Every song I have heard of Casting Crowns I've enjoyed...great vocals and lyrics that really minister.

Yes as well as Third Day. My CD's got stolen. 
So I borrow from my kids.
But if I ever hear the one Jesus Take The Wheel again, it will be too soon. That's the one my daughter wants to play every time she gets in my car.

I hear this song about every day, and like you I think of missionaries. But more importantly I think about if I'm reaching, healing, teaching, going, and showing as I should be. And I ask myself why not? I'm not real sure what the real answer is, but I think it comes down to personal pride. Oh that I will be what my Lord calls me to be today, tomorrow and forever.

I don't know, that song has a good message to it, but there is something about it that makes me not want to hear it very much....could it be that I don't want to hear that I can't do it myself and must rely on Him? In my case (and I'm not suggesting it's your case) it seams to me that pride is rearing it's ugly head.
