My Christmas Carol for Today - Breath of Heaven - by Amy Grant

When we think about Christmas Carols some of us think of the old Christmas songs we sang in church, like Joy to the World and Silent Night. Others think of more contemporary songs like It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas or Frosty the Snowman. Today my Christmas Carol is a newer song, a beautiful song, sung by Amy Grant - Breath of Heaven - you will find it at this link.

If you would like to know the story behind the song, you will find it at this link. And, if you would like to sing along, here are the lyrics.

I have traveled many moonless nightsCold and weary with a babe insideAnd I wonder what I've doneHoly father you have comeAnd chosen me now to carry your son
I am waiting in a silent prayerI am frightened by the load I bearIn a world as cold as stoneMust I walk this path alone?Be with me nowBe with me now
Breath of heavenHold me togetherBe forever near meBreath of heavenBreath of heavenLighten my darknessPour over me your holinessFor you are holyBreath of heaven
Do you wonder as you watch my faceIf a wiser one should have had my placeBut I offer all I amFor the mercy of your planHelp me be strongHelp me beHelp me
Breath of heavenHold me togetherBe forever near meBreath of heavenBreath of heavenLighten my darknessPour over me your holinessFor you are holy
Breath of heavenHold me togetherBe forever near meBreath of heavenBreath of heavenLighten my darknessPour over me your holinessFor you are holyBreath of heavenBreath of heavenBreath of heaven
