Simeon's Song

<p>[Verse 1]<br/>An old man in the temple<br/>Waiting in the court<br/>Waiting for the answer to a promise<br/>And all at once he sees them<br/>In the morning sunshine<br/>A couple coming carrying a baby<br/><br/>[Chorus]<br/>Now that I&#x27;ve held Him in my arms<br/>My life can come to an end<br/>Let Your servant now depart in peace<br/>I&#x27;ve seen Your salvation<br/>He&#x27;s the Light of the Gentiles<br/>And the glory of Your people Israel<br/><br/>[Verse 2]<br/>Mary and the baby come<br/>And in her hand five shekels<br/>The price to redeem her baby boy<br/>The baby softly cooing<br/>Nestled in her arms<br/>Simeon takes the boy and starts to sing<br/><br/>[Chorus]<br/>Now that I&#x27;ve held Him in my arms<br/>My life can come to an end<br/>Let Your servant now depart in peace<br/>&#x27;Cause I&#x27;ve seen Your salvation<br/>He&#x27;s the Light of the Gentiles<br/>And the glory of His people Israel<br/>[Chorus 2]<br/>And now&#x27;s the time to take Him in your arms<br/>Your life will never come to an end<br/>He&#x27;s the only way that you&#x27;ll find peace<br/>He&#x27;ll give you salvation<br/>He&#x27;s the Light of the Gentiles<br/>And the glory of His people Israel
