Breath Of Heaven

Gladys Knight


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

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
