Lyrics Breath Of Heaven (Mary’s Song)
My favorite Christmas song is “Breath Of Heaven (Mary’s Song)” sung by Amy Grant. I know this song because my mother played the entire CD it is on every Christmas.
Amy Grant’s “Home For The Holidays” CD says Christmastime to me. I have many fond memories of listening to it and singing these songs with my mother and siblings when I was younger.
We always had it on. Starting after Thanksgiving we would start playing (Well first on tape and then on a CD). We played it while we put up our Christmas tree, we played it while we made Christmas cookies.
We played it while we wrapped Christmas presents and various other times throughout the Christmas season. It is the soundtrack to my childhood Christmas memories and this song was my favorite.
My sister and I even dressed up and acted it out once for my parents. It just such a touching, deep song and it speak of Mary at the time of Jesus’ birth which is what the Christmas holiday is all about.
Amy Grant has such a beautiful, soulful voice. Now that I am grown and have my own children I also have this CD playing during the holidays. I have taught my young daughter this song and she likes it as much as I do.
Every Christmas I look forward to pulling out my CD with this song on it and reliving through the song and my memory all the Christmases of the past.
These are the beautiful lyrics 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 when 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 strong,
Help me be strong, 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,
Breath of Heaven…
