Into my arms, O Lord

apologies to Nick Cave - a songwriter without peer.

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

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O 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
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

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

And 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 candle burning
And make her journey bright and pure
That she will keep returning
Always and evermore

And if He felt He had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

apologies, again, to Nick Cave for destroying his beautiful song. (did I pull off the arms/arms thing? i was trying to say that Blinky should be directed into these arms)
