I don't believe in an interventionist God

But I know, darling, that you do

                                    C       G/B C F/C

But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him

				 C

Not to intervene when it came to you

			     F

Not to touch a hair on your head

		     Dm

To leave you as you are

And if He felt He had to direct you

Then direct you into my arms

  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 candles burning

And make her journey bright and pure

That she will keep returning

Always and evermore



    Into my arms, O Lord

    Into my arms, O Lord

    Into my arms, O Lord

    Into my arms

   Am

The boatman calls from the lake

   F              G

A lone loon dives upon the water

   Am

I put my hand over hers

   F              G        C

Down in the lime-tree arbour





   Am

The wind in the trees is whispering

   F                  G

Whispering low that I love her

   Am

She puts her hand over mine

   F                  G        C

Down in the lime-tree arbour



Chorus:

          G

        Through every breath that I breathe

          Am                    F

        And every place I go

          Fm             C         Am

        There is a hand that protects me

          F          G           C

        And I do love her so
