Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I don't believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did, I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Not to touch a hair on your head
To leave you as you are
And if He felt He had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms
[Verse 2]
Into my arms
Oh Lord, into my arms
Oh Lord, into my arms
Oh Lord, into my arms
[Verse 3]
And I don't believe in the existence of angels
But looking at you, I wonder if that's true
But if I did, I would summon them together
And ask them to watch over you
To each burn a candle for you
To make bright and clear your path
And to walk like Christ in grace and love
And guide you into my arms
[Verse 4]
Into my arms
Oh Lord, into my arms
Oh Lord, into my arms
Oh Lord, into my arms
[Verse 5]
But I believe in love
And I know that you do too
And I believe in some kind of path
That we can walk down, me and you
[Verse 6]
So keep your candles burning
Make your journey bright and pure
That she will keep returning
Always and evermore
[Verse 7]
Into my arms
Oh Lord, into my arms
Oh Lord, into my arms
Oh Lord, into my arms
[Verse 8]
Into my arms
Oh Lord, into my arms
Oh Lord, into my arms
Oh Lord, into my arms
