The Body Parts Song

There are many parts of this body: each one where God wanted it to be. This part's an arm; that part's a kidney. You might be a toe; she may be a spleen.

The heart can't go over to the eyeball and say "You were made as I was supposed to be", because each part's there to serve all the others: many parts form one body.

But sometimes I feel like maybe God fashioned me to be the appendix, or the earlobe, or the small toe or the nipples on a man, or the hair on the knee. But even if that is the case I'm still part of this body, and even if that's what God created me to be that's alright with me.

If one part feels weaker than the others then would you please give me your attention. These parts are as valuable as the others; this is God's original intention.

We're in this together; if one part's ill then so is the whole body. We're in this forever; if one part's glad then so are we.
