Now That I've Held Him In My Arms Lyrics - Card Michael

Michael Card 

That old man in the temple 

Waiting in the court 

Waiting for the answer to a promise 

And all at once he sees them 

In the morning sunshine 

A couple come and carry in a baby 

Chorus 

Now that I've held Him in my arms 

My life can now come to an end 

Let Your servant now depart in peace 

Cause I've seen Your salvation 

He's the Light of the Gentiles 

And the glory of His people Israel 

Marry and the baby come 

And in her hand five shekels 

The price to redeem her baby boy 

The baby softly cooing 

Nestled in her arms 

Simeon takes the boy and starts to sing 

Chorus 

Now's the time to take Him in your arms 

Your life will never come to an end 

He's the only way that you'll find peace 

He'll give you salvation cause 

He's the Light of the Gentiles 

And the glory of His people Israel
