Casting Crowns: If We Are the Body
Tuning: Standard Capo 2

Intro: Em7, Em/F# (repeat as needed) 

(What you do is hold an Em7 chord 022003 with your pinky on the high 3 and have 
your ring finger on the fret next to it to make this 022002) 

Some chords you might not know: (my naming might be incorrect, but here are the fingerings)

Asus7: x02233
Asus:  x02230 (just lift up pinky)


Intro: Em7, Em/F# (repeat as needed) 

VERSE 1
      Em7                  C2
It's crowded in worship today
           Asus7   Asus4         C2             D/F#          
As she slips in, trying to fade into the faces
      Em7                        C 2                        Asus7 Asus4
The girls' teasing laughter is carrying farther than they know
                  C2      D/F#          
Farther than they know

CHORUS
        G                               D/F#          
But if we are the body, why aren't His arms reaching
                 Em7                           C2
Why aren't His hands healing, why aren't His words teaching
       G                                 D/F#          
And if we are the body, why aren't His feet going
           Em7                D/F#                C2
Why is His love not showing them there is a way
            Em   (into Intro)
There is a way

VERSE 2
    Em7                       C2
A traveler is far away from home
               Asus7    Asus4    C2             D/F#          
He sheds his coat and quietly sinks into the back row
      Em7                         C2                            Asus7
The weight of their judgemental glances tells him that his chances
    Asus4               C2      D/F#          
Are better out on the road

CHORUS

BRIDGE
D/F#          Em7 D/F#           C2
Jesus paid much too hit a price
                                      D/F#
For us to pick and choose who should come
          Em7 D/F#    C2
We are the body of Christ
(Do the 1st chorus after the bridge sort of muted, and build in the 2nd)
Chorus 2x
