DAY 28: QUIT PRAYING

"WELL DONE, GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT!" MATTHEW 25:23

Lyrics

It's crowded in worship today
As she slips in trying to fade into the faces
The girls teasing laughter is carrying farther than they know
Farther than they know

But if we are the body
Why aren't His arms reaching?
Why aren't His hands healing?
Why aren't His words teaching?
And if we are the body
Why aren't His feet going?
Why is His love not showing them there is a way?
There is a way, there is a way

A traveler is far away from home
He sheds his coat and quietly sinks into the back row
The weight of their judgmental glances
Tells him that his chances are better out on the road

But if we are the body
Why aren't His arms reaching?
Why aren't His hands healing?
Why aren't His words teaching?
And if we are the body
Why aren't His feet going?
Why is His love not showing them there is a way?

Jesus paid much too high a price
For us to pick and choose who should come

And we are the body of Christ
But if we are the body
Why aren't His arms reaching?
Why aren't His hands healing?
Why aren't His words teaching?
And if we are the body
Why aren't His feet going?
Why is His love not showing them there is a way?
Jesus is the way
Jesus is the way
we are His hands
We are His feet
We are His body
Jesus is the way

My mother may not be a queen
But my Father's King of everything
I'm adopted into the family
So I guess that makes me royalty

[Bridge:]
And He's given me dominion yes (oh)
Power over men, them yes (oh)
Everything I do is blessed (oh)
Promised me some great success (oh)
I am the authority (oh)
God of the majority (oh)
Livin' in my liberty (oh)
So you might as well get used to me

I'm walking in authority, living life without apology
It's not wrong, dear, I belong here
So you might as well get used to me

[Verse 2:]
We're children of the most-high God
Understand and believe His word
We never have to beg or plead
For our Father will supply our needs

[Chorus:]
I'm walking in authority, living life without apology
It's not wrong, dear, I belong here
So you might as well get used to me

I'm walking in prosperity, living life the way it's meant to be
It's not wrong, dear, I belong here
So you might as well get used to me

Get something in your hand
And wave it in the air
1 2 3 (oh)
1 2 3 (oh)
1 2 3 (oh)
So you might as well get used to me
