Into My Arms

(Nick Cave's cover)

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
Leave you as you are
And if he felt he had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms

Into my arms oh Lord into my arms
Into my arms oh Lord 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
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

Into my arms oh Lord into my arms
Into my arms oh Lord into my arms

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 a journey bright and pure
That he'll keep returning
Always and evermore

Into my arms oh Lord into my arms
Into my arms oh Lord into my arms

Into my arms oh Lord into my arms
Into my arms oh Lord into my arms

Into my arms oh Lord into my arms
Into my arms oh Lord into my arms

Into my arms oh Lord into my arms
Into my arms oh Lord into my arms
