Breath of Heaven

Did you ever notice how your life experiences affect the way you interpret certain songs? Breath of Heaven tells the nativity story from Mary's perspective. When I listen, I hear the story from my perspective. I am taken back to last Christmas when I was still expecting Ramsey. Like Mary, I wondered why I was chosen. I felt honored that God had selected me to have such a special child. Although Ramsey's fate was uncertain, I knew I would be provided the strength to handle the journey. I was frightened, but God held me together and ultimately, he presented Ramsey with the best gift of all...the Breath of Heaven. I thank Him for every blessed breath he takes.

Breath of Heaven Lyrics:

I have traveled
Many moonless night
Cold and Weary
With a babe inside
And I wonder
What I've done
Holy Father
You have come
Chosen me now
To carry your son

I am waiting
in a silent prayer
I am frightened
by the load i bear
In a world as cold as stone
Must I walk this path alone
Be with me now
Be with me now

[chorus:]
-----------------------------------
Breath of Heaven
Hold me together
Be forever near me
Breath of Heaven

Breath of Heaven
Lighten my darkness
Pour over me, your holyness
For your holy Breath of Heaven
-----------------------------------

Do you wonder
As you watch my face
If a wiser one, should of had my place
But I offer-all I am
For the mercy-of your plan
Help me be strong
Help me be
Help me
