Intro:  F  C  F  C

F                                      C
I don't believe in an interventionist God
F                             C
But I know, darling, that you do
          F                              C
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
              F                   C
Not to intervene when it came to you
                              F
Not to touch a hair on your head
                     Dm
To leave you as you are
                            G
And if He felt He had to direct you
       Em                G
Then direct you into my arms

Chorus:
              Dm
     Into my arms, O Lord
              C
     Into my arms, O Lord
              Dm
     Into my arms, O Lord
              C
     Into my arms

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 fr you
To make bright and clear your path
And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
And guide you into my arms

Chorus

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
So keep your candles burning
And make her journey bright and pure
That she will keep returning
Always and evermore

Chorus
