  • 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

    Into my arms, oh Lord
    Into my arms, oh Lord
    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
    And ask them to watch over you
    Both 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, oh Lord
    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
    Make her journey bright and pure
    That she'll keep returning
    Always and evermore

    Into my arms, oh Lord
    Into my arms, oh Lord
    Into my arms, oh Lord

  • Andrea from Australia This is a really deep and meaningful song, the conflict of belief and non belief, trying to adjust to the path of peace.
  • Andrea from Australia I love this song so much; I have told my husband that if anything ever happens to me then that is the song I want playing at my funeral, although my husband hates it when I bring up this topic ( He finds it so morbid) I actually find "In to my arms" a really peaceful comforting song;
  • Andrea from Australia This song comes across as a great differing of opinions and beliefs; everyone has their own beliefs; but when one is struggling to know whether to have faith or not can be hard; especially when the other does have strong beliefs; We all need hope.
  • Roxanne from Brisbane, Australiaone of the saddest songs ive ever heard,perhaps because it rminds me of my best friend who died from a brain tumour....R.I.P.lynne xxx
