{comment: Intro: [F] [C] [F] [C] [F] [C]}
{start_of_verse}
[F] I don't believe in an interventionist [C]God
[F] But I know, darling, that you [C]do
[F] But if I did I would kneel down and [C]ask Him
[F] Not to intervene when it came to [C]you
Not to touch a hair on your [F]head
To leave you as you [Dm]are
And if He felt He had to [G]direct you
Then [Em]direct you into my [G]arms
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_chorus}
Into my [Dm]arms, O Lord
Into my [C]arms, O Lord
Into my [Dm]arms, O Lord
Into my [C]arms
{end_of_chorus}
{start_of_verse}
[F] And I don't believe in the existence of [C]Angels
[F] But looking at you I wonder if that's [C]true
[F] But if I did I would summon them [C]together
[F] And ask them to watch over [C]you
To each burn a candle [F]for you
To make bright and clear your [Dm]path
And to [G]walk, like Christ, in grace and love
[Em] And guide you in to my [G]arms
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_chorus}
Into my [Dm]arms, O Lord
Into my [C]arms, O Lord
Into my [Dm]arms, O Lord
Into my [C]arms
{end_of_chorus}
{start_of_verse}
[F] But I believe in [C] Love
[F] And I know that you do [C]too
[F] And I believe in some kind of [C]path
[F] That we can walk down, me and [C]you
So keep your candles [F]burning
And make her journey bright and [Dm]pure
That she will keep [G]returning
[Em] Always and ever[G]more
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_chorus}
Into my [Dm]arms, O Lord
Into my [C]arms, O Lord
Into my [Dm]arms, O Lord
Into my [C]arms
{end_of_chorus}
