the good way

Christ has no body now but Yours

Session 7 • Justice & peace • Devotional


Spend some time meditating on this poignant prayer, which is attributed to Teresa of Avila. There is also a musical recording of the song, performed by Josh Garrells below. In what way is God inviting you to be the hands and feet of Jesus today?


“Christ has no body now but yours,

No hands, no feet on earth but yours,

Yours are the eyes with which He looks

Compassion on this world,

Yours are the feet with which He walks to do good,

Yours are the hands, with which He blesses all the world.

Yours are the hands, yours are the feet,

Yours are the eyes, you are His body.

Christ has no body now but yours,

No hands, no feet on earth but yours,

Yours are the eyes with which He looks

Compassion on this world,

Christ has no body now on earth but yours.”
