Chords with lyrics

• Capo on 5th

Key: G+G


Verse 1:
G+G       E minorEm
If we claim to love our neighbour
G+G        A minorAm    D MajorD
While the hungry queue for food
G+G       E minorEm
Are we prey to self deception
G+G       D MajorD    G+G
Is perception quite so crude
G+G      A minorAm
If we sit beside our neighbours
E minorEm       C majorC      D MajorD
Begging for the things they need
G+G          E minorEm
We might share their own injustice
G+G        D MajorD     G+G
In a world that thrives on greed

Verse 2:
G+G      E minorEm
If we punish those with nothing
G+G        A minorAm     D MajorD
Blaming them for where they stand
G+G        E minorEm
Is this love of friend or neighbour
G+G        D MajorD  G+G
Do we still not understand
G+G         A minorAm
Love of neighbour is not easy
E minorEm       C majorC      D MajorD
Cuts us till we feel the pain
G+G         E minorEm
Sharing hurt that they are feeling
G+G         D MajorD   G+G
Till they find new life again

Verse 3:
G+G         E minorEm
Love of neighbour sets us squarely
G+G         A minorAm    D MajorD
In the place where they now sit
G+G         E minorEm
Till the richness God has given
G+G        D MajorD     G+G
Builds a pearl around the grit
G+G        A minorAm
Till each person shares the comfort
E minorEm       C majorC    D MajorD
Of the love of which we preach
G+G        E minorEm
Till we live as fact the Gospel
G+G       D MajorD      G+G
None can be beyond love’s reach
