Chords

[Verse 1]
G              Em
[tab]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
