It was written by (presumably American) children's religious song-writers Ane Warner-Weber and Sherry Saunders-Powell. (Possibly one wrote the tune, and one the music - this has not been confirmed.)
It was first released in 1977 by Candle Company Music; Sparrow Song, an album "To the Chief Musician" (ref). Today copyright is owned by Universal Music – Brentwood Benson Songs. It was published in various song-books, including Scripture in Song 2 - Songs of the Kingdom, 1981, New Zealand. But no in-print sources of sheet music have been found.
The song is set to an unnamed tune, with a 4/4 time signature. In the key of C, the first few notes are E F G G EG G G_ DEFF DE F_ with accompanying chords C / A7 / Dm / G.

Lyrics
The lyrics are copyright so cannot be reproduced here. But they are currently available on this website. A rough outline is:He is Alpha and Omega
The beginning and the end
He's behind me, He's before me
He's ever my friend
Whatever I do, wherever I go
Jesus is my source and my goal.
You are Alpha and Omega
The beginning and the end
You're behind me, you're before me
You're ever my friend
Whatever I do, wherever I go
You are my source and my goal.
I have the words and the chords from many years ago but the melody escapes me. So want to hear the tune again. Will ask Jesus to bring it to mind.
