Lyrics BREATH OF HEAVEN (MARY'S SONG) Apparently I'm not the only one to try to put myself in Mary's shoes. This song was written by Chris Eaton and Amy Grant and, I feel, ably expresses what some of those second thoughts must have been like and yet shows the strength and faith that must have been one of the reasons she was chosen. 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. 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.
