If We Are the Body

It's crowded in worship today,

and she slips in,

and (B7)trying to (Dsus2)fade into the faces.

(E)The (F#m7)girls' teasing laughter is (Dsus2)carrying farther than his chances

are (B7)better farther than they know.

(E)But if (A)we are the body,

why aren't His arms reaching,

(Esus)why aren't His hands healing,

why aren't His words teaching?

And if (A)we are the body,

why aren't His feet going,

(Esus)why is His love not showing (E)them there is a way.

There is a way.

(F#m7)A trav'ler is far a from home;

he sheds his coat

and (B7)quietly (Dsus2)sinks into the back row.

(E)The (F#m7)weight of their judgmental (Dsus2)glances tells him ther that his chances

are (B7)better out ther on the road.

(E)But if (A)we are the body,

why aren't His arms reaching,

(Esus)why aren't His hands healing,

why aren't His words teaching?

And if (A)we are the body,

why aren't His feet going,

(Esus)why is His love not showing (E)them there is a way.

There is a way.

(E)Jesus paid much too high a (Dsus2)price for us to pick and choose who should come,

and we are the (F#m)(E)body of (Dsus2)Christ.

If (A)we are the body,

why aren't His arms reaching,

(Esus)why aren't His hands healing,

why aren't His words teaching?

And if (A)we are the body,

why aren't His feet going,

(Esus)why is His love not showing (E)them there is a way.

If (A)we are the body,

why aren't His arms reaching,

(Esus)why aren't His hands healing,

why aren't His words teaching?

And if (A)we are the body,
