The first time I ever heard Casting Crowns was when I heard the song "Does Anybody Hear Her?" It caused the tears to swell up in my eyes, because I was that girl they were talking about. So I began listening to their other songs and was hooked. I love this song and its words have such meaning to them. When we were looking at churches this past summer, if I had walked into a church and found that nobody spoke to me, or they were looking at me like I didn't belong there or something like that, I would be apt to move on and not look back. We only went to one church that was like that. I won't say which one, but I expected a different result. Some were nice, some were not. It's okay though. We have found where we belong now.
If We Are The Body
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.
And 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 judgemental glances
Tells him that his chances are better out on the road
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
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?
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!
Next time you sit in service and look at someone and think badly of them, don't look at them with disdain. Don't stare at them and make them feel uncomfortable. Because that is only going to drive them away. You are supposed to be showing love like Jesus would when someone walks into your church doors. If Jesus walked into your church as a plain man, would you turn your back on Him just because his shoes have dust on them? Would you look at Him with disdain because He had on something you didn't like? Or maybe He didn't fit into your cookie cutter mold of who should go to your church? WWJDIHWM (what would Jesus do if he were me) ponder that for a while next time you think about treating someone like that just because they may not be your cup of tea. Would Jesus turn you away? Never.
