Breath of Heaven Hold me together Be forever near me

Artist- Amy Grant
Song of the day- Breath of heaven

My most favorite christmas album comes from Amy Grant. I'm not saying it's the most artistically sound but it reminds me of sitting in the dark under the list christmas tree with my mom after we decorated it and how peaceful it was. It also reminds me of Christmas Eve and our church candlelight service where one of the my friends I grew up with the most amazing voice would sing this song. Even though I've heard her sing it many times it never gets old and still gives me goose bumps. I like how it humanizes The Christmas Story, that it gets behind the emotions of one young girls heart who doesn't understand so many things but keeps going regardless. The human spirit trusting in something when they can't do it themselves. Kind of a miracle. Merry Christmas Eve everybody.



I have traveled
Many moonless night
Cold and Weary
With a babe inside
And I wonder
What I've done
Holy Father
You have come
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

[chorus:]
-----------------------------------
Breath of Heaven
Hold me together
Be forever near me
Breath of Heaven

Breath of Heaven
Lighten my darkness
Pour over me, your holyness
For your holy Breath of Heaven
-----------------------------------

Do you wonder
As you watch my face
If a wiser one, should of had my place
But I offer-all I am
For the mercy-of your plan
Help me be strong
Help me be
Help me
