We Are The Body

"We Are The Body"

The lyrics from this song keep weighing heavily on my heart.

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 

Once again I feel God pulling on me, tugging at my heart and asking me, "Why aren't you giving all, why aren't you reaching out to those that are lost, why aren't you teaching others about him. We are all the body of Christ and it is our job to teach others. I like "Why aren't his feet going" and "Why is his love not showing them there is a way". It is our job as believers to help others. To reach out to the lost. I feel like Im beating this over and over again but maybe that's because I am still making myself get it.

What is God calling us to do? His he calling us to missions, he is calling us to youth, is he calling us to preach, or teach, or work in the medical field. No matter where we go in life God always has a purpose for us. What is your purpose?
