If we are the body
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
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 too high a price
For us to pick and choose who should come
And we are the Body of Christ
Chorus (2x)
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 is the way
Why aren't his arms reaching? Why aren't his hands healing? and why aren't his words teaching? Because we are the body, we are the hands and the feet of Jesus, so why aren't we showing it? It seems that everyone out there, more specfically christian teens, are scared to share their faith, to share the story and the power of Jesus christ. When christianity is discussed I often hear much dissapointment at this person and that person because they are not christians or have left the faith. It bothers me because people complain about those non christians but most times do nothing to help them. As it says in Romans: How, then, can they call on the one in whom they have not believed?And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard?And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?
This i think hits the nail on the head, we say that more should call on Jesus and accept him into their lives and live the christian lifestyle, well then....tell them about it, teach them, guide them. It doesnt take much, and it doesnt have to be all scripture quotes all nimbly bimbly. Set an example in your daily life, if you live the life God meant for you to live, people will ask questions. When people ask questions, don't hesitate, tell them why you are the way you are. Tell them what Christ has done in your life. The worst that can happen is that they ignor you. Hoping that they listen, it could lead to more questions, more answers, and possibly them acepting Christ into their life. Try it, you just might be surprised.

heyy al. sweet vid, really good post. some really good points, but my brains are scrambled eggs right now so i'll most likely comment deeper later. lates! :)
I love that song!!
you are so right joe. and that song is awesome! and Christ is awesome, and I wish it could be easier for us all to speek freely of him
Nice post!! Its inspiring:)
I most definitly agree with you Alex. Everything you said there is so true, it is us teens that have the hardest time showing and telling about God and how great he is. The things you said couldnt of been any more truthful, when you life the Christian life the way it is suppose to be lived, your definitly going to get questions. And like you said, thats where you take advantage of the situation, answer their questions that are going to lead into more questions, and you never know, you could be changing somebodies life right there on that very day. This is a Great post Alex, im just gonna conclude by asking a prayer to God to challenge each and every one of us to reach out to people, lets make it our mission to speak to others about God, this wont only change their lives, but it will change ours too.
