Christ Has No Body But Yours by St Teresa of Avila

Christ has no body 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 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.

- St. Teresa of Avila
