[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
Oh, not to touch a hair on your head, leave you as you are
If he felt he had to direct you, then direct you into my arms

[Chorus]
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

[Verse 2]
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
Oh, 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

[Chorus]
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms
[Verse 3]
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, make her journey bright and pure
That she'll keep returning always and evermore

[Chorus]
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms
