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...
