LYRICS:

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.

SONG INFORMATION:

Breath of Heaven (Mary's Song) - written by Chris Eaton, performed with adapted words by Amy Grant. The song was recorded for "Home For Christmas", the 1992 holiday album by Amy Grant, a prominent Christian/pop singer.

This Christmas song tells the nativity story from Mary's perspective. It portrays the mother of Jesus as a frightened young girl, attempting to deal with the circumstances of giving birth to the Holy Father's son. Despite her human doubts, Mary's faith in the goodness and mercy of God remain and help her deal with the unique situation she finds herself in.

English songwriter Chris Eaton originally penned this song, with the title "Breath of Heaven". When Amy Grant first heard it, she decided she wanted to record the tune for her holiday album, but with the verses rewritten to personalize them. "The song is so profound, but he chorus is so simple. It's authentic and perfectly written, because it uses an incredibly moving economy of words. And, selfishly, I just really wanted to be able to use the song on my Christmas record. So finally Chris said, 'Well, ok, just for this one version, we'll let you put a different lyrics on there.' I said, 'Well, you couldn't possibly have written the lyric I'm thinking of, because I'm going to write it from a woman's perspective.' I was very pregnant at the time, and I felt that was part of the inspiration for the song as I tried to imagine Mary's experience."

This song appears on the soundtrack of the 2006 movie "The Nativity Story". Mike Rich, who penned its screenplay, told Catholic Online that he began each day of writing for the film by listening to this song.
