breath of heaven

i have traveled many moonless nights

cold and weary with a babe inside

and i wonder what i've done

holy father

you have come

and 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

breath of heaven

hold me together

be forever near me

breath of heaven

breath of heaven

lighten my darkness

pour over me your holiness for you are holy

breath of heaven

do you wonder as you watch my face

if a wiser one should have had my place?

but i offer all i am for the mercy of your plan

help me be strong

help me be

help me

breath of heaven

hold me together

be forever near me

breath of heaven

breath of heaven

lighten my darkness

pour over me your holiness for you are holy

breath of heaven

hold me together

be forever near me

breath of heaven

breath of heaven

lighten my darkness

pour over me your holiness for you are holy

breath of heaven

breath of heaven

breath of heaven
