A song about the analogy that Paul makes between our physical body and the body of Christian believers
Beanfield Castle - what a crop of acoustic and more!
I'm actually my own band :) I sequence music to accompany myself, usually with me playing an acoustic instrument and singing for the final mix.
Story behind the song
I wrote this song for our kids church time group, to help them begin to understand a bit about what it means to be in the body of Christ.
Lyrics
When God made the body, what a body He did,
Whether you can see the parts or whether they’re hid.
The parts work together, yes, that’s how it goes
And the nose knows a rose as it grows.
Now elbows are for bending and muscles are for walking,
Fingers are for tickling, the mouth is for talking.
You keep your balance with your feet and your toes,
And your nose knows a rose as it grows.
Your tummy’s for food, hands made for clapping,
Shut your eyelids and soon you’re napping.
To keep the bugs out, keep your mouth closed,
And your nose knows a rose as it grows.
Now elbows don’t talk and knees don’t smell.
Each part is different to do its job well.
Don’t eat with your ears, don’t smell with your toes –
It’s the nose knows a rose as it grows.
Now if you have Jesus in your heart
In the body of Christ you are a part.
Though we’re all different, we’re one body
And Jesus is the head, you see.
When God made the body, what a body He did,
Whether you can see the parts or whether they’re hid.
The parts work together and Christ is the head,
Without Jesus Christ, then the body is dead.
We’re the parts of His body and Christ is the head!
