If We Are The Body
by Casting Crowns
(Capo 2)
G G Gmaj7 G Gmaj7 (x4)
{Gmaj7 are hammered on and off}
Em7 Csus2
It's crowded in worship today
A7Sus4 Asus4
As she slips in
Csus2 Dsus4/F#
trying to fade into the faces
Em7 Csus2
The girls teasing laughter is carrying
A7Sus4 Asus4
Farther than they know
Csus2 Dsus4/F#
Farther than they know, Lord
(Chorus)
G
But if we are the body
Dsus4/F#
Why aren't His arms reaching?
Em7
Why aren't His hands healing?
Csus2
Why aren't His words teaching?
G
And if we are the body
Dsus4/F#
Why aren't His feet going?
Em7 Dsus4/F#
Why is His love not showing them
Csus2
there is a way?
Em7 {4 measures}
There is a way.
Em7 Csus2
A traveler is far away from home
A7Sus4 Asus4
He sheds his coat
Csus2 Dsus4/F#
And quietly sinks into the back row
Em7 Csus2
The weight of their judgmental glances
A7Sus4 Asus4
Tells him that his chances
Csus2 Dsus4/F#
are better out on the road
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Dsus4/F# Em7 A7Sus4
Jesus paid much too high
Csus2
a price For us to pick and
Dsus4/F#
choose who should come
Em7 A7Sus4
And we are the bo - - -dy of
Csus2
Christ
(Chorus) x2
Em7 {3 measures}
Jesus is the way
