Guitar chords with lyrics

  • Capo on 5th
Key: G



Verse 1:
G              Em
If we claim to love our neighbour
G                Am        D
While the hungry queue for food
G              Em
Are we prey to self deception
G             D        G
Is perception quite so crude
G           Am
If we sit beside our neighbours
Em              C           D
Begging for the things they need
G                    Em
We might share their own injustice
G               D          G
In a world that thrives on greed
Verse 2:
G            Em
If we punish those with nothing
G                Am         D
Blaming them for where they stand
G               Em
Is this love of friend or neighbour
G               D    G
Do we still not understand
G                 Am
Love of neighbour is not easy
Em              C           D
Cuts us till we feel the pain
G                 Em
Sharing hurt that they are feeling
G                  D     G
Till they find new life again

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