Now That Ive Held Him In My Arms (Card)

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

Verse 1

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

Verse 2

Mary 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

Verse 3

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
