steven s. billings - where is the love? (in the body of christ) lyrics

Loading...

where is the love in the body of christ?
where is the love? where is the light?
so many churches in the world today
each one claiming that they teach the way
but why does there always seem to be struggle and strife?
oh, where is the love in the body of christ?

we’re called to be a shining city on a hill
to love and serve each other, to do the father’s will
but all we do is bicker, all we do is fight
all we do is argue ‛bout who’s wrong and who is right

we say we are forgiven; no matter what we do;
it’s about the love of jesus who died for me and you
but that leaves a question hangin’ on my mind
‛bout why the love of jesus is still so hard to find
can you tell me, please . .

where is the love in the body of christ?
where is the love? where is the light?
so many splits in the church today
makes me wanna fall down on my knees and pray
that by the power of god’s spirit we’d all start livin’ the life
oh, where is the love in the body of christ?

we say that we are loving, we say that we are kind
yet how quickly we can move ahead and leave the rest behind
we hide our flame under a bushel so no one else can see;
we say our faith is only “between my god and me.”

but brother, let me ask you; sister tell me true;
if you have the love of jesus, what else can you do?
than to reach out with comp-ssion to everyone in need
to speak the truth in love in all our words and all our deeds
tell me, tell me, please . .

where is the love in the body of christ?
where is the love? where is the light?
so many churches in the world today
each one claiming that they teach the way
but why does there always seem to be struggle and strife?
oh, where is the love in the body of christ?

do you do praise and worship or sing the liturgy?
should we reserve our love for the right theology?
i can see the spirit in everything you do
you don’t have to look like me for me to know your faith is true

dear father, please forgive us for lovelessness we show
for lines of separation that we permit to grow
(oh, lord jesus)
if we confess together the tenets of the creed
can’t we all worship jesus and fall down at his feet?
(please forgive us!)
oh, lord, tell us please . .

where is the love in the body of christ?
where is the love? where is the light?
so many splits in the church today
makes me wanna fall down on my knees and pray
that by the power of god’s spirit we’d all start livin’ the life
oh, where is the love in the body of christ?
