The Alpha and Omega

by

Lloyd (Buck) Tohill

 

E                        F                    E                       F                             E

When you look down on your world, Do you despair of what you see?

A                       G                       A                      G                   F                     E

When you look down upon your homeland, Does it bring tears into your eyes?

E             F                     E           F                                      E

You told us “love each other,” “feed the hungry, tend the sick”

A            G                       A               G                                F                              E

You told us forgive each other and if someone strikes our left cheek, turn the other.

E             F                         E                 F                                       E

You told us “welcome the stranger;” O we’ve haven’t done as you said.

A             G                      A              G                    F             E F E

Someday you’ll return in power, O what will you do on that hour.

You alone are the King!
