Casting Crowns

 The first time I hear Casting Crowns I was amazed. The feeling that I felt was like no other band. The reason I like this band is because the are "real" people. Four of the band members are pastors at their churches. It was first start as a band for a youth group and it has grown to a well known praise band. My favorite song is " If we are the body"

 

It's crowded in worship today
As she slips in trying to fade into the faces
The girl's 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

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

Jesus payed much too high a price
For us to pick and choose who should come
And we are the body of Christ

This song says so much about what our church has become today. It shows whats wrong with our church. Casting Crowns is my favorite band because they tell how it is. They are real in there songs and praise God amazing.
