THIS is quite a song...

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

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
Jesus paid much too high a price
For us to pick and choose who should come
And we are the body of Christ

Jesus is the way

I'm sure all of you know it... it just killed me today, hearing it.
It's SO true.
We ARE the church, we are His hands and arms on earth...

How has God used you today?
Have you allowed Him to? Or for that matter, been available for Him to do so...
of course, I'm directing this at myself mainly... :ol
