Breath of Heaven
Breath of Heaven: A Journey of Faith and Divine Grace
Lyrics
I have traveled many moonless nights
I have experienced many nights without light
Cold and weary with a babe inside
I have endured cold and fatigue while carrying a baby
And I wonder what I've done
I contemplate the reasons for my current situation
Holy father you have come
Addressing God, acknowledging His presence
And chosen me now to carry your son
Feeling chosen to bear the son of God
I am waiting in a silent prayer
Engaged in a quiet, hopeful prayer
I am frightened by the load I bear
Fearful of the burden I carry
In a world as cold as stone
In a harsh and unforgiving world
Must I walk this path alone?
Questioning whether I must face this journey alone
Be with me now
Invoking God's presence at this moment
Be with me now
Repeated plea for divine companionship
Breath of heaven
Describing God as the "Breath of Heaven"
Hold me together
Requesting God to keep me intact
Be forever near me
Pleading for God to remain close forever
Breath of heaven
Reiteration of God as the "Breath of Heaven"
Breath of heaven
Repetition emphasizing divine connection
Lighten my darkness
Asking for illumination in times of darkness
Pour over me your holiness
Seeking the overflow of God's holiness
For you are holy
Acknowledging God's sacred nature
Breath of heaven
Reiteration of God as the "Breath of Heaven"
Do you wonder as you watch my face
Pondering if others might be more suited for my role
If a wiser one should have had my place
Contemplating the wisdom of God's choice
But I offer all I am
Offering oneself for God's merciful plan
For the mercy of your plan
Seeking strength in alignment with God's plan
Help me be strong
Repeated plea for inner strength
Help me be
Requesting guidance to be resilient
Help me
Continued plea for help
Breath of heaven
Reiteration of God as the "Breath of Heaven"
Hold me together
Requesting God's support to stay whole
Be forever near me
Asking for God's eternal closeness
Breath of heaven
Reiteration of God as the "Breath of Heaven"
Breath of heaven
Emphasizing the connection with the divine
Lighten my darkness
Seeking divine light in times of darkness
Pour over me your holiness
Requesting an overflow of God's holiness
For you are holy
Acknowledging God's sacred nature once more
Breath of heaven
Reiteration of God as the "Breath of Heaven"
Hold me together
Requesting God's support to remain whole
Be forever near me
Pleading for God's everlasting closeness
Breath of heaven
Reiteration of God as the "Breath of Heaven"
Breath of heaven
Emphasizing the eternal connection with God
Lighten my darkness
Seeking divine light in times of darkness
Pour over me your holiness
Requesting an overflow of God's holiness
For you are holy
Acknowledging God's sacred nature once more
Breath of heaven
Reiteration of God as the "Breath of Heaven"
Breath of heaven
Continued emphasis on God as the eternal connection
Breath of heaven
Concluding emphasis on God as the "Breath of Heaven"
