Once, in the arms of God, I was held by his hand, I was led by his love.
Wandered away, and far from him, there, there I found my soul.
Faith, like a dream of life, and I only just stand, and the wind rides above.
I will arise and go to him, this, this is all I know.
Love, came an answer, faith, came an answer, now, only now I hope.
Once, in the arms of God, I was held by his hand, I was led by his love.
Wandered away, and far from him, there, there I found my soul.
I took from him, squandered all from him,
I will go where he sends me, I will hope, faith is in me,
leaving all I have, I go!
Once, in the arms of God, I was held by his hand, I was led by his love.
Wandered away, and far from him, there, where I found my soul.
Once in the arms of God,
Once in the arms of God,
Once in the arms of God…
The first Noel the angels did say
To shepherds as in fields they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,
A cold winter’s night that was so deep,
Noel, Noel Noel, born is the King of Israel,
Noel, Noel Noel, born is the babe of Mary.
They looked up and saw a star
Shine in the east beyond them far,
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night,
Noel, Noel Noel, born is the King of Israel,
Noel, Noel Noel, born is the babe of Mary.
