Into My Arms (Nick Cave, The Boatman's Call, 1997)

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 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

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 a journey bright and pure
That she'll keep returning always and evermore

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