I 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
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
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
And we are the Body of Christ
The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 12:
27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. 28And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, also those having gifts of healing, those able to help others, those with gifts of administration, and those speaking in different kinds of tongues. 29Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? 30Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret? 31But eagerly desire the greater gifts. And now I will show you the most excellent way.
The apostle Paul in his letter to the people in Corinth.. and he was teaching them about the gifts that have been given to us.. and he compares the church as the Body of Christ.. If we are christians and we attend to a church every sunday and somehow we are serving.. we are called to be the Body of Christ.. With a purpose.. with a MISSION..
Right now around the whole world there are people dying and screaming for love and afection.. they are hunger but more then physical hunger is a spiritual hunger that cries out to us.. To us the ones to who has been given the work to bring them to the feet of Christ.. But there is a big problem.. It seems that the Body of Christ is so tired lately.. Tired of living routine.. It seems that the Body is so concentrate in its own life and world.. that has forgotten about the task that was entrusted it to do..
Theres so much work to do.. So many places to go.. So many people to reach... A lot of souls that need to be saved that need to know the truth.. that need to see life.. Real life..

The first part of this blog is a song.. and it really hit me hard.. I am part of the Body and I want to reach, to teach, to go, to show the love that I once recieved..
Are you part of the Body?!
Are you part of the Body?!
