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

Review about If We Are The Body An all time favorite message | Reviewer: Sunday Lizu-zambia | 10/24/09
This song is among the best i have ever listened to.it sends an amplified message of the great commission.Jesus made us part of his body so that we can fully represent him in the earth with the way we live.the best way to evangelise to the nations is by our lives.we cannot live our lives separated from the message of love we want to share.remember this world lies in wait for the manifestations of the sons of God and these are those who God himself has given the right to be his sons.lets be relevant and reveal to the world that is what the song says,sung with great passion.thank you casting crowns!
I Luv this song so much. The body of christ is not representing him fully. We are lurking behind while the devil is workin fast.Tis time we showed love to other people and preached Christ shamelessly. Most of us youths dont want people to even know who we really are. Guys lets keep it JESUS, whether in class, in da streets or bus. The other day a friend of mine was like, 'im tired of workin for GOD. I want 2 work with GOD'. This is a wake up call
i just heard this song for the first time today... and i have been repeating the song on my mp3. i'm trying to get closer to God everyday, and i love songs that tell me the real thing and teach me where we lack and how we should go about living lives that welcome even the most distant soul back to the reaching arms, the healing hands, and the teaching words of our loving God.
PEACE...

I never knew i had this song on my pc, but the as i heard i was moved to check the lyrics well.And as i saw the words i just told my self this is the truth
The various parts of the body of Christ as we are should not be idle.Lets us reach out to save the world and win souls for Christ.
Christ's Love | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/13/09
You know, I have loved this song since the first time I have heard it. I've listened to it too many times to count. I'm in the US Army Infantry and my job description doesn't call for love. I spent 15 months in Iraq and combat and chaos was a regular occurance. Showing respect and love for the same people trying to kill you is probably the most challenging thing I've ever had to do. I remeber at one time I said to myself " forget loving these people, they are trying to kill us!!!" But then I thought back about Christ, my Lord and Savior being beaten and murdered, and yet still compassion and love were the only things flowing from his face, and it hit me hard! Thank God for his saving grace!
Makes us think | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/1/09
I think most christians would have heard the saying that we are often the only 'Bible' that some non-christians will ever read. Id say almost all of western society knows the story of the gospel (they only have to turn on the tele at Christmas time) but they don't see the 'proof' that God is working. I believe Jesus commisioned his church to continue his work... so if we reached out to our society and loved like He did, wouldnt people would see a difference!!! What sort of change could we make to the world if we only loved like he did for even just one day?!? People would notice that there really IS a God!! Its certainly challenged myself to have a good think about the way I treat people and live my life
A Powerful Song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/12/09
I just sang this song in church at the request of our pastor. It's the second Casting Crowns song that he's requested to be sung before his message. It is a credit to a songwriter that his lyrics are so powerful that they can be used as a prelude to a sermon. I got short notice on this and I also suffer from stage fright, not to mention having "senior moments"! I can't remember lyrics like I used to. Well, long story short - I somehow messed up on the timing/entrance to the last sets of the chorus, had to stop and wait to get in at the right place in the music, had some "life flashing before my eyes" moments, and somehow managed to finish. I just about cried when I got back to my seat! I had never messed up so badly! I felt I had let the Pastor down. However, I got more comments from the content of this song than most that I have done. I didn't mess up on the verses where the hard-hitting scenes take place. I was again reminded that God really doesn't need us to do what he wants to accomplish! He always works in spite of us! Praise God!

this song is so wonderful. i'm just a teenager and this song is so touching to me, i think that it is so wonderful how god can forgive his people daily and bless them, but in return us christians can't even stand up for god or be even true to him, so i think god for blessing the casting crowns for this amazing song.
God is the one who does the glory not men | Reviewer: BAMBI | 11/10/08
This song really touch my heart on how God showed his love for us and we aren't repaying back the way a true christian should do it. And don't forget dat is not about religion is about how much u love god and follow his word. We should be thankful to him everyday that he gives us life and that he protects us from harm in anyway a man can't. In 1 Peter 2:9 it says that we are chosen generation and we should not be sitting down wasting our time, is time for the true people of christ to stand up and get out into the world and preach the word of God to those people dat don't have God in their hearts. Dat is why God still has us in this world because MANY WILL BE CALLED BUT SO FEW WILL LEAVE WITH CHRIST. Never be ashamed of preaching to someone because their is nothing ashamed about God. Remember God will always here ur prayers and when u feel alone don't forget dat their is always someone in heaven dats taking care of u.... GOD BLESS U ALL
we are the body. | Reviewer: stephanie | 10/21/08
we are the body of christ and should love other as christ loves us. we look at people through the eyes of the world so much. but if we saw people as christ saw us, it would be so different, so much better. christ doesn't look at what we look like on the outside, he doesn't pick and choose through people. in his eyes everyone is beautiful, we must be because we are created in his image. to god we look just right, to the world we call people ugly and all sorts of names. how do you think that makes god feel when you call one of his children ugly? our goal is to bring people to god. we need to reach out, not push away. go in the world, not stay in our comfort zones. show love to the hated. we are the body.
