Not even one of us can fully understand nor scarcely appreciate Mary’s plight . . .
And consider Joseph’s . . .
(Rest in Peace, Donna Summer. I’m glad we still have your amazing voice.)

Breath of Heaven
Amy Grant
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
*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
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
. . . Have you ever found yourself saying these same words –
the ones I highlighted?
I have.
Yes, I have been chosen to “carry The Son”.
I feel completely unworthy.
The thought of bearing that precious burden is daunting-
sometimes frightening.
Yet the Archangel, himself, said, “Don’t be afraid”.Yes, the world is cold as stone,
and the path, often difficult,
but I don’t have to walk it alone-
never alone.
The Lord is with me.
He lightens my darkness,
and if that were not enough,
He pours His holiness over me,
and His grace,
and His mercy.
I am not wise, but He chose me,
somehow.
He chose me and He helps me.
Breath of Heaven is always there,
softly taking me in,
gently sending me out . . .
Amy Grant, how did you know?
