5th traste
[Verse 1]
G Em
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
