The Long Arm Of The Lord

	  		
Intro: Em 

verse 1 
  Em                          Em 
A million dark alleys you can hide in 
      Em                          Am 
Dig a tunnel to the center of the earth 
   C                               C 
Convinced you've got nobody to confide in 
                        G                    D 
Got you questioning the sum of what you're worth 
       Em                               Em 
People label you the black sheep of the family 
        Em                         C 
Come collect upon your prodigal reward 
 
               C 
'Cause you can never outrun 
   G 
Or go beyond the reaches 
       G               Em 
Of the long arm of the Lord

verse 2 
                 Em                             Em 
And I've been ashamed, I've been humbled and forgiven 
          Em                              Am 
I've been chastened by my Father's loving hand 
     C                               C 
But still, it comes and goes with my evil 
            C                          D 
It seems to constitute the nature of a man 
       Em                            Em 
But forgiveness is as close as my confession 
       Em                   C 
And my sin amputated by His sword 

             C 
'Cause I can never outrun 
   G             Em 
Or go beyond the reaches 
       C               Em 
Of the long arm of the Lord

verse 3 
      C              C 
If He gave to me all that I deserve 
Em                     Em 
This could be my final breath 
            C 
But with compassion in His eyes 
     C 
He's drawing me home 
Am             D                       Em   Em   D 
Into His arms, into His tender arms of re--------st 
          Em 
(Into the arms of the lord)

verse 4 
Am        Em                          Em 
There are pagans at the corners of creation 
       Em                             Am 
Making light of the salvation that we know 
           C                              C 
And with a small, narrow mind I give them over 
       C                           D 
To the passion of the Godless seed they sow 
        Em                            Em 
But, in truth, we have just as much potential 
      Em                         C 
To be Godly and perfected by the Word 

                C 
Though cause no one in this world 
    G               Em 
Can slip beyond the reaches 
       C                 Em 
Of the long arm , of the Lord 

          C 
Yeah well no one in this world 
    G               Em 
Can slip beyond the reaches 
       C        D      Em Em Em D Em    D 
Of the long arm of the Lo----------or---rd
