Lyrics

It’s (Em7)crowd ed in wor ship to (Csus2)day,

and she slips (A7sus)in,

and (A7)try ing to (Csus2)fade in to the (D)fac es.

The (Em7)girls’ teas ing laugh ter is (Csus2)car ry ing far ther than they (A7sus)know, es

are (A7)bet ter far ther than they (Csus2)know.

But if (G)we are the bod y,

why aren’t His (Dsus)arms reach (D)ing?

Why aren’t His (Em7)hands heal ing?

Why aren’t His (C)words teach ing?

And if (G)we are the bod y,

why aren’t His (Dsus)feet go (D)ing?

Why is His (Em7)love not show ing (D)them there is a (C)way?

There is a (Em7)way.

A (Em7)trav ’ler is far a from (Csus2)home.

He sheds his (A7sus)coat

and (A7)qui et ly (Csus2)sinks in to the (D)back row.

The (Em7)weight of their judg men tal (Csus2)glanc es tells him ther that his (A7sus)chanc es

are (A7)bet ter out ther on the (Csus2)road.

But if (G)we are the bod y,

why aren’t His (Dsus)arms reach (D)ing?

Why aren’t His (Em7)hands heal ing?

Why aren’t His (C)words teach ing?

And if (G)we are the bod y,

why aren’t His (Dsus)feet go (D)ing?

Why is His (Em7)love not show ing (D)them there is a (C)way?

There is a (Em7)way.

A

(D)Je sus paid (Em)much too (D)high a (C)price

for us to pick and choose who should (D)come, and we are the (Em)bod (D)y of (C)Christ.

If (G)we are the bod y,

why aren’t His (Dsus)arms reach (D)ing?

Why aren’t His (Em7)hands heal ing?

Why aren’t His (C)words teach ing?

And if (G)we are the bod y,

why aren’t His (Dsus)feet go (D)ing?

Why is His (Em7)love not show ing (D)them there is a (C)way?

If (G)we are the bod y,

why aren’t His (Dsus)arms reach (D)ing?

Why aren’t His (Em7)hands heal ing?

Why aren’t His (C)words teach ing?

And if (G)we are the bod y,

why aren’t His (Dsus)feet go (D)ing?

Why is His (Em7)love not show ing (D)them there is a (C)way?

If (C)way?

Je sus is the (Em7)way.
