Josh, I am tone deaf and can not sing. When I get to heaven and I am getting closer as I am 71 years old now), I believe I will be able to sing to the Lord in a beautiful voice! I think that God must be so pleased to hear you sing in your wonderful voice. Appreciate your gift and bless the Lord and us with it. Thank you so much for your deep words and dedication.
Beautiful
I'm 75 and I feel the same. The first thing my babies said was , "Mama, don't sing." I sing inside beautifully, but it doesn't come out the way I experience it.
Amen.i Love you Thank You Jesus
Amen 🙏🙏🙏
I can't wait to get older.....closer to seeing HIM ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Seeing such a diverse group sing about being the body of Christ gave me chills! We are called to be one body, but often dont't live that way. May God help us to see our true calling.
This has reminded me that I am a vessel for Jesus Christ.. My life is not mine but His, that He may do His work through me..
Why does this song make me cry each time I listen!!! I am unworthy of the great commission He had given to us. How can a mortal fragile sinful soul be His eyes, hands and feet. Only God can do it.
what a beautiful song. May Christ work through me..
Lyrics:
Christ has no body now but yours
No hands, no feet on earth but yours
Yours are the eyes with which He sees
Yours are the feet with which He walks
Yours are the hands with which He blesses all the world
Yours are the hands
Why is this edited ? K
Totally unbiblical Arminian crap
@@all4Hisgloryalone2Tim215 Brother the song is metaphorical; We, the church, are the body of Christ, and he depends on us to see the suffering of others so that He may bless them through us. Either by prayer that the world refuses or the actions that God has has charger us will, loving the enemies, sinners, to help the poor and the widows. Too often have we forgotten the work because of salvation.
Amen Josh. You’re a blessing! We are the hands & feet of Jesus. The body of Christ.
this song profoundly moves me in jan 2021...a fellow writer, a poet, same age as Josh looks in this video, gave up life a few days ago, he took it, utterly alone & despairing, due to Covid. I only knew too late...this song reminds me how our hands, feet, voices are so vital as we touch other's lives on our journey here on earth...remember that when you meet strangers who appear to have it all but are deeply alone inside 💕
So beautiful. So convicting. Thank you
Christ has a glorified body and is risen forever. Yet, He does choose to work through the Church as His means of grace. Just saying. God's peace be with you.
Jesus is in Heaven, we are His hands and feet here on earth until He returns. We need to be like our saviour as He asked of us. The lady signing is to show us visually what is meant. (Josh songs are great to make you reflect and think, which is a good thing.)
And 'funny" enough something I have been pondering as of late. What are we doing.
This song makes you realise what great range Josh has
If we take things out of context then the theology is incorrect but within the context of the song, it means we are the body of Christ here on " earth ". We don't see Jesus walking around the streets of Jerusalem now or anywhere physically for that matter. It is us as His Representative and that's what the song is trying to relay that we are to carry on His work by Him living in us and doing the work of the kingdom here on Earth.
Toka Chishi Embassador for Christ 2 Corinthians 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech youby us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
Well said, we should not overly criticise artists who are trying to express their revelations creatively and poetically.
Amen!
That's why it's called 'ART'. A Song not a Teaching.
Poetry is a vessel for teaching, is it not? Every poem usually has a moral.
This song makes me feel so convicted to do only things Jesus would do. I need to represent Him well and do His will.
You are not alone Jackie the biggest trick of the enemy.. First he sets people up And then he is the accusser of the brethren when we screw up! Thank God for Grace
Quite often it is not when I'm doing well that our Jesus comforts me as much as His beautiful gift of Grace unmerited favor That reminds me There is therefore no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus our Lord.
It makes me just want to totally submit to him.
There’s a book by Charles Sheldon called In His Steps. Great read. You should be able to find it at your local library.
It’s about becoming the body of Christ that does something other than going to church and doing nothing.
Everything I have seen Josh Garrels do thus far is highly anointed by God Almighty. This work is certainly no exception. Phenomenal, everyone involved.
megalopolis2015 agreed
@@nautical81 God is able, but He often chooses us to work in and through. This is part of the Greatest Commandment, to Love God with all that we are, and our neighbor as ourselves.
Incredibly Powerful... Christ In Us Forever!!!
Christ has no body now but yours
No hands, no feet on earth but yours
Yours are the eyes with which he sees
Yours are the feet with which he walks
Yours are the hands with which he blesses all the world
Yours are the hands.
[Lyrics are from a prayer by Teresa of Avila circa 1571]
Apparently this is incorrectly attributed to Teresa of Avila. Do you know if there is any attribution to this?
I understand the objections. I think y'all are missing the key words "on earth". Therefore the theology is intact. St. Teresa de Avila was not mistaken when she wrote this poem. She is saying that "on earth", Jesus does not walk among us with His Glorified Body, which we will only see at the end of Time when He comes again. On earth, we who are the Body of Christ, the Church, must be His Hands and Feet. In the poetic form, she does not repeat the words, "on earth" every single time, but her meaning is clear if you read the whole.
incidentally, it's her feast day today. St. Teresa de Avila, pray for us!
Thank you for knowing who wrote this! Prayer of Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
Jesus GAVE US HIS GLORY...For we were created to BEAR IT... I believe the scripture says IT WILL BE SEEN HERE ON EARTH...In His people...among them...
Shining out from INSIDE THEM... radiating... just as HE RADIATES OUT THE FATHER...
@Christina Tran True, but the title is very misleading.
He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field."
Amen brother
Wow! Josh sings this beautiful song so well.
Josh you have been such a blessing to my life in this 2020 year. May you be richly blessed by Father! BLESSINGS FROM CANADA 🇨🇦🍇
Beautiful song! Thank you Jesus for your amazing love and life. Thank you for these dedicated musicians using their gifts to inspire the whole world! Haunting sublime voice like the late Jeff Buckley. Anointed music
I'm diggin all these original works. So nice to hear something different then all the same pop worship. Keep it up.
amen sisters and brothers in Christ! AMEN!
Such a powerful song!
The woman signing made me think about how we have different languages and can learn them basically to a degree. I've heard and thought about the Holy Spirit being tied to language. A Trinity glue. I think that any amazing powers one attributes to God are well-placed. In our everyday lives, the Holy Spirit seems to get forgotten. Our use of language reminds us of him. I'm probably going to join the Roman Catholic church because mainline churches where I live in D.C. are so focused on being progressive that they've reimagined the creeds. This video appealed to me and made me think about language. I think the Trinity is the answer to everything. Well, that would be Jesus. This video works well with that. Thanks again.
Christ has no body now but yours
No hands, no feet on earth but yours
Yours are the eyes with which He sees
Yours are the feet with which He walks
Yours are the hands with which He blesses all the world
Yours are the hands
I'm in love with your voice
Incredible! I know Christ lives and lives in each of us. Miracles exist even in a world where people believe less and less. I believe in Christ and have a strong testimony in Him as my Rock. Love it Josh🤙🏼
If we thought about these words every day, the road to sainthood would be much more attainable. Thank you for inspiring us with your beautiful voice. This is also the perfect melody
Absolutely gorgeous 🙏
I wish you could see this from the Deaf perspective. I am not deaf, but worked as an interpreter for many years. There is no list of lyrics here, no captions on the screen, but someone is signing (which is an actual language that belongs to people)...but the one who is signing is not in the shot most of the time. So who is she signing to? There is no Deaf access to this beautiful song. Signing is an amazing language and a way to include people who want to be a part of what you are doing.
really hope the people from Josh Garrels's team see this and take action! Giving better access to our deaf brothers and sisters is so important!
I 100% with you, but since you are blessed with this gift why not create a video for deaf people to enjoy.
Thank you soo much. That is just what I needed. I love you Zimbabwe. I pray you be blessed in peace ❤
It's feels so blessed
Your such a gifted singer that God has blessed you with. May the Lord bless and keep you brother.
I am thou Art!
What a beautiful voice. Brings tears to my eyes (as do the words of the song).
Beautiful song
What a voice!
God grant we may be worthy to be all that these words imply. K
Please keep in mind with the lyrics of this stunningly beautiful song (which are taken from a poem written by Saint Teresa of Avila) that they are essentially a poetic reflection on the truths expressed by 1 Corinthians 12:27 and (part of) Colossians 1:24. They are not a literal theological statement and should not taken as such (no Christian can deny the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ). Poetry (and music) is a soaring of the heart to express the inexpressible and we miss its beauty altogether if we apply a strict literalism to it.
The preface of the song by the young lady with hand gestures is of extreme importance. One of the downfalls of the English language as it comes to bear on church theology and praxis is the ambiguity of the second person personal pronoun. You/Yours: Is it plural or is it singular? I think this obscurity lays at the heart of much of the individualism so prevalent in North America and in the church. Thank you to the young lady who dispels this obscurity and makes it clear: "Yours" in this song is first of all plural.
We are the Church! We are the Messiahs instruments for love and mercy to the orphan, the widow, the immigrant, and to the world drowning in sin.
Amazing!
When you give yourself to God and accept Jesus as Lord and Savior. Jesus works through us. He uses our eyes , hands, feet, mouth, for his glory and honor to help and bring others to him.
I have always known God but i had to give up myself to find him.
Lord, I am a broken man held together only by your Grace. I have peace knowing i can never fail on earth because i chose you.
You know what I love about Josh, is that he is not afraid to be different and set apart in this world! Brother you inspire us to sing for Jesus our Messiah. We ALL will be singing to our King in unison in Heaven like this one day. Amen
agreed ,
Matthew 25:34-40
Hello and God bless you from NYC! Wow! I’m sorry I missed this event, since I live in NYC! But I am so glad that I found your video here! I first heard your voice when you sang “Wood and Nails” with @AudreyAssad, and your voices meshed so wonderfully! And I found that video after subscribing to Audrey’s TH-cam channel! And now I just subscribed to yours as well! What a beautiful and soul-stirring song this is! And one of the best parts, was the beautiful young lady signing!! God bless you all! 💖🙏🏼
absolutely splendid! love the intro!!! is this a hymn anyway?
Me gustan todas sus canciones y seria tan bello oirlas en español.o leer las traducciones .Canta hermoso.
Can my Friday get any more blessed??
Sure it can, be catholic and recieve eucarist, that is Christ himself
ur voice, the music, the love is just Beauty all around!
I hear Dido and Aeneas "When I am laid in earth" ground bass inspiration. Anyone else?
I love when Josh Garrels features Josh Garrels.
This is beautiful! I wish i had the chords
This is gorgeous !
It is.
God lives through all of us, we need to show his kindness and compassion to one another. Wonderful song.
This song is so beautiful, powerful and peaceful at the same time. That build up to where everyone joins in and sings at 3:00 is amazing! It's how I imagine a choir of angels to sing. Magnificent! God bless everyone who took part in this celebration of Christ!
Josh I agree . Christ in me .arg we keep it in the family.
Stunning. So grateful for this new project. Excited to follow along.
Exceptional. Compelling.
A very beautifully orchestred and sang version of beautiful very words. May God bless you all. 🙏
Josh never disappoints. SO amazing!
Christ was resurrected and does have his body. I understand what this song is trying to imply, but it skirts a dangerous theological boundary. Christ does have a body, and he is not helpless. With out you, Christ is still LORD. Who can add unto what the Lord has done? Jesus is coming on a white horse, are you ready?
This is so moving and so beautiful! Thank you, Josh Garrels. Is there a sheet music choral arrangement for this rendition available, by any chance?
That is theologically incorrect. Jesus ascended bodily into heaven. There is nothing in scripture to imply otherwise.
Matthew 25:34-40
I love the range of his voice from a deep baritone , almost bass to the counter tenor. Never heard one like it before. Lovely to have it dedicated to out Gracious Lord. K
Its a Catholic poem. Josh Garrels is he in a ecumenical movement ?
Christ has no body now but yours
No hands, no feet on earth but yours
Yours are the eyes with which He sees
Yours are the feet with which He walks
Yours are the hands with which He blesses all the world
Yours are the hands
Christ has no body now but yours
No hands, no feet on earth but yours
Yours are the eyes with which He sees
Yours are the feet with which He walks
Yours are the hands with which He blesses all the world
Yours are the hands
Christ has no body now but yours
No hands, no feet on earth but yours
Yours are the eyes with which He sees
Yours are the feet with which He walks
Yours are the hands with which He blesses all the world
Yours are the hands
Thanks 😊
Thankyou. It's good to be able to read the words. Kaytey
And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his coming. If you know that he is righteous, you may be sure that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.
We are all dummies who have someone talking for us it's never for ourselves its only the works of the flesh or God in us
Wow! This is so deep and so beautiful. It's such a blessing to see there is truth out there, in the midst of so much increasing falsehood and weirdness among those calling themself 'christian'.
Very good. #Brasil
Um BR que também escuta Josh Garrels :O
Bianca Alves 3 agora :)
Really makes you think huh. We
bring Christ to others by doing his work. A simple song that says "I Must For Him!"
If you listen to the lyrics, he does say "on earth".
A startling and sobering reminder. The Lord tells us through Paul that we are His body. 🙏 Definitely encouraging to hear and be reminded of. May the LORD our Banner make this truth a reality in all of His children's hearts!
Chills! This is haunting, beautiful.
Não entendo inglês, poderia ter a tradução em português das músicas. Obrigada! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
To say Christ has no body now is abject heresy. If you simply mean his body is in heaven, that is fine, but the wording is terrible and misleading.
I am just so in love with this song. Is there any where that I can get the SATB version? I would gladly pay for it!
Also, I, and I assume most people, don't think enough about people who are unable to move or communicate. It so contradicts my way of thought that talking to the semi-homeless guy Eric on my street is like talking to my brother. Levels going on. I noticed St. John of the Cross was a friend of St. Teresa of Avila. Happening town back then. I downloaded one of John's things but it seemed too depressing to me in its diminishment of himself. I did read a shorter thing from St. Laurence about how his focus was totally on God and it worked well for him. These people are among the best we have among worshippers of God, yet I'm a more modern, type, as if I were in a sit-com. The popes are like happy walk-ons in comparison. It wouldn't be a good plan to try to out-guess God with my prayers. I'll pray for you, now, since you've got the nice video, and I'll pray for the rest, too, before sleeping. Done! Tnanks
Hm this is like the opposite of the song "Yet Not I but Through Christ in Me." It's as if this song is saying, "Yet not Christ, but Through Me." I think this song emphasizes more of our works rather than the finished works of Jesus. Also, Jesus' sovereignty works beyond us or our actions. I still have to dig through these lyrics, but these are my initial thoughts from the message of this song.
To say Christ has no body is flat out wrong. Christ was risen (bodily) from the grave and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
"No hands, no feet on Earth, but yours." The poem/prayer is just saying that it is the Church that represents Christ on Earth as he is no longer here.
viewing this song from a sinners perspective is so incredible, that it depends on us to allow God in us to make decisions in life. We are not prefect but with God and his words we can make better decisions
Hi Josh. May I show this video during a Sunday service in my church - Llanyrafon Methodist Church, Cwmbran, UK
2 John 1:6. KJ. 😇☝️
The Eucharist ? He did say so.
So true. We must love not only from a spiritual place but love people through embracing them,feeding , nurturing. Love
Freakin' moving...so beautiful
I love the song, beautiful! However, it is based on some wrong theology because Jesus Christ has risen in his perfected body. And even told Thomas to touch his wounds for verification it was him. John 20:24-29. The point of the song is however still valid. We are to be the medium in which Jesus blesses the world. Still another beautiful song from one of the best Christian songwriter/singers out there.
Ronald Fuquay , Truth. Amen. I was being shown by the holy Spirit the same verse.
I think it's saying that God has no body on earth but ours. Jesus Christ is in heaven, he no longer walks the earth, so we are his hands and feet here on earth.
1 Corinthians 12:27 "Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it." 🙌🏻
I can see that.
True, I know we are the Body of Christ. But I just wanted to post what first came to my mind.
So beautifully sung! So true! So touching my heart!❤️🙏🏽
Haunting, powerful meditation
awesome! when does the album come out?
INCREDIBLE reminder. Thank you!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I definitely get the point of this. Obviously, Christ lives in us and we are supposed to live like Him. But I’m a little confused, though. Christ DID rise from the grave with a physical body. (That was even doubting Thomas’s contention point, he said he needed to feel Jesus’ physical body himself to believe He came back… and then Jesus told him to come feel His hands and His side to prove He was really back). So Christ DOES have a physical body…
The second verse says, “No feet or hands on earth but yours.” I think the “on earth” is the qualifier but only fits in that verse. 🤷♂️
I hhave to take some time for this to sink in but I don't have the words right now . that ever happen to you.? thanks for posting the video. I had to listen twice. thumbs
But yours
"Humility is the root and essence of His character. If humility is the root of the tree, it's nature must be seen in every branch, every leaf and every fruit. Humility is perfect quietness of heart. It is to expect nothing, to wonder at nothing that is done to me, to feel nothing done against me. It is to be at rest when nobody praises me, and when I am blamed or despised."
A very moving song. A very good reminder.
That title seems deceiving 🤔 why wouldn’t Jesus have a body? He does have a body but we are his body here on earth. I understand the message. Others might not.
Matthew 25:34-40
