WE ARE

It's all too common to forget who we are and why we're here. I know this because I do it much to often, it's shameful. I put myself in a box and neglect anything that's going on around me. Why? To protect myself from being hurt, mostly. And then I think back on my trip to Africa and realize those I laid my eyes on and touched and loved on are neglected and hurting are because they have never known anything better. I have Jesus. They've never even heard His name. It happens much too much, that I have to ask God to take me out of my own box, and put me in unknown places. It's there I find so much more fulfilling joy anyway. The song below is a reminder to me and to you, believer, of who we are and why we're here. Take my hand, let's step out of this box together, oh brother and sister in Christ.

We Are The Body Of Christ

by Mandi Mapes, Jim Watkins

We are the body of the most High
We are the bride of a Savior
And we fall for the King of the kingdom

As we sing the songs of salvation

And we stand for those who cannot stand for themselves
And we love the loveless

And we go where Your light’s not shining

We are the body of Christ

We shine like a city on a hilltop
We boast in the Spirit living in us

And we march on a road leading to freedom

As we reach out our hands to the fallen

And we bring living water to the thirsty and
We live for the One who was and is and is to come


So our life counts for something greater than ourselves

We are the body of Christ

And our anthem will be a song of praise to the King
“He is worthy, He is worthy”
With one voice we will sing,
“Where oh death is your sting”

He is mighty, He is mighty
