G   G G7M G G7M (x4)    { G7M are hammered on and off}

       Em7                C9
It's crowded in worship today
            A7sus4   Asus4          C9          Dsus4/F#
As she slips in           trying to fade into the faces
    Em7                       C9             
The girls teasing laughter is carrying 
                   A7sus4 Asus4
Farther than they know
                  C9   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?
               C9  
Why aren't His words teaching?
       G
And if we are the body
               Dsus4/F#
Why aren't His feet       going?
            Em7             Dsus4/F#             C9
Why is His love not showing them       there is a way?


           Em7 {4 measures}
There is a way.


   Em7                      C9
A traveler is far away from home
         A7sus4   Asus4               
He sheds his coat         
             C9          Dsus4/F#
And quietly sinks into the back row
     Em7                       C9               
The weight of their judgmental glances
                A7sus4 Asus4                
Tells him that his chances     
                      C9  Dsus4/F#
are better out on the road

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Dsus4/F#              Em7      A7sus4    C9     
Jesus            paid much too high    a price
                                     Dsus4/F#
For us to pick and choose who should come
               Em7  A7sus4       C9
And we are the bo - - -dy of     Christ

(Chorus) x2
             Em7 {3 measures}
Jesus is the way
