[INTRO]
F#m / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / /

[VERSE 1]
     F#m                  D
It's crowded in worship today
            Bsus  B        D             Esus

As she slips in  trying to fade into the faces
    F#m                       D                          Bsus  B

The girls teasing laughter is carrying farther than they know
    D   Esus  E

Farther than they know

[CHORUS 1]
       A 
But if we are the body
               Esus

Why aren't His arms reaching?
               F#m 

Why aren't His hands healing?
               D

Why aren't His words teaching?
       A

And if we are the body
               Esus

Why aren't His feet going?
           F#m              E               D

Why is His love not showing them there is a way?               
               F#m / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / /

There is a way

[VERSE 2]
  F#m                       D
A traveler is far away from home
            Bsus B             D              Esus

He sheds his coat  and quietly sinks into the back row
    F#m                        D

The weight of their judgmental glances
                   Bsus  B                       D     E

Tells him that his chances are better out on the road

[CHORUS 2]
       A 
But if we are the body
               Esus

Why aren't His arms reaching?
               F#m 

Why aren't His hands healing?
               D

Why aren't His words teaching?
       A

And if we are the body
               Esus

Why aren't His feet going?
           F#m              E               D

Why is His love not showing them there is a way?

[BRIDGE]
E          F#m      E      D
Jesus paid much too high a price
                                      E

For us to pick and choose who should come
              F#m   E     D
And we are the bo - dy of Christ

[CHORUS 3 x2]
       A 
But if we are the body
               Esus

Why aren't His arms reaching?
               F#m 

Why aren't His hands healing?
               D

Why aren't His words teaching?
       A

And if we are the body
               Esus

Why aren't His feet going?
           F#m              E               D

Why is His love not showing them there is a way?
