If We Are The Body Lyrics - Counting Crows

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
