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 may 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.
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.
Chorus:
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.
