Amy Grant - Breath Of Heaven (Mary's Song) Lyrics






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

[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

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 2x]

Amy Grant Breath Of Heaven (Mary's Song) Comments
  1. L.... P....

    Beautiful song!! I’m in love with Jesus ❤️

  2. C.... M....

    This is my favorite Christmas song.

  3. J.... W....

    MAN HAS A DIVINE INHERITANCE AND A DIVINE DESTINATION
    Lord Jesus did not come to bring a new morality or a philosophy on earth. He brought a Holy Tradition (Church Tr.) through which man is REMADE by Gods Grace to a new kind of a human being never known or seen on earth or heaven before… a new creation!
    [Colossians 3 10] “And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him”:
    A Saint is a New Creation on Earth
    The coming of Lord Jesus introduced into mankind a New Creation (a new kind of human being) in the world! The purpose of the creation of His Church by the Apostles where to enable Lord Jesus to become
    Height Priest [Hebrews 5:5], in order to serve man to becoming a godmen by the Grace of God a supernatural condition that testifies to union of man with God known as Sainthood, Salvation or Holiness. (Peter 1, 16) “Be Holy because I am Holy”.
    This is how Paul describes His personal experience, as being a new creation. [Gal 2:20] “So that it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me” Paul admits that God (Christ) lives in him, making him this way a god-man by His Grace, a way of being never seen on heaven or earth before. [Galatians 6:15] “For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature”. So the heavenly Kingdom is NOT a “place” it is “a way of being” a UNION of man with God Creator Himself, begotten and experienced from this here life. [Luke 17:21] No one will say, “Look here it is”! Or, “There it is!” because the Kingdom of God is within you”. This is how the Apostles and the Saints did/do their miracles…it is not man that does them it is the God (Holy Spirit) within!
    In the absence of the therapy of the Church life after death will meet the same conditions as before the coming of Lord Jesus ans the creation of His Church where there was no hope no Salvation! [Exodus 33:20] And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
    Lord Jesus did not come to teach philosophically but THERAPEUTICALLY. (to cure man from sin so he return to the presence of his creador God)
    http://www.johnsanidopoulos.com/2013/03/the-foundations-of-orthodox.html
    God’s Divine Light is known in the heart!
    [Matthew 5-8] “BLESSED ARE THE PURE IN HEART- FOR THEY SHALL SEE GOD”.
    The presence of God can only be known in the heart where God is known to testify to His Self to those becoming worthy (become Holy).
    [2 Corinthians: 4:6]. “God makes His Light shine in our hearts, to bring us the knowledge of God’s glory shining in the face of Christ.
    GOD IS LIGHT AND THE SAINTS IN THE HOLY SPIRIT BECOME LIGHT
    The Image and Likeness of God
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezItFNpdnVY&feature=youtu.be
    The Light of Mount Tabor
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smXD2cPKxxo&t=381s
    The first martyr Stephen
    [Acts: 6-15] " 15 And all that sat in the He face council, looking stedfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel. "His face was radiant with the Light of Grace of God just like the face of Moses was when he was speaking with God". This is kind of an experience in His Church that has been known to take place with His Saints continuously throughout the 2000-year-old history of the Church
    The vision of Divine Light (returning to His presence)
    This is what Lord Jesus told St. Symeon when He became worthy to His presence in His divine Light.
    “It is me, God, Who became man for you; and behold that I have made you, as you see, and shall make you god”.
    http://www.monachos.net/content/patristics/studies-fathers/67
    [A Corinthians 15.41] “There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory”. There are described that they are going to be "light and lights" according to Paul depending on the proportion of their willingness while they were alive to obey and serve God and fellow human beings!
    According to St. Nicholas the Athonite , the bodies of the saints will be like that of the risen Christ and will be: Soft, Lightweight, Beautiful, Glorious, Transparent, Bright, Warm, and spiritual. The bodies of the Saints will differ from glory to glory as the light of the moon differs to the of the sun!
    HOLY LIGHT
    The Divine Presence in the Temple of the Holy Sepulchre Jerusalem, every Saturday Greek Orthodox Easter for the past 1670 years.
    The Holy Light seen in the Temple of the Holy Sepulchre is a MATERIAL light (like the sunlight is material light) provided by the Grace of God that appears every year as an invitation to all those Christians who left the Church the year 1054 AC during the schism when the Patriarchy of Rome left the Church in violation of [Ephesians 4:5]. The Holy Light also gives HOPE to all of the Orthodox Faithful who are not yet perfected who cannot yet see (partake) see God in His Divine Light and live. Exodus 33:20: “And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live”.

  21. T.... C....

    Beautiful song Amy Grant!!

  22. J.... A....

    Amy Grant, hmm, she left her husband Gary Chapman and went after Vince Gill who was also married. Now Grant is married to Gill and still singing praises to The King.
    #1, was she a born again loving, believing true Holy Spirit filled Christian when she divorced and remarried ? It makes all the difference in the world for eternity's sake. If Grant was not a real Christian. Then became one after marrying Gill who did the same with the same circumstances. It is a blessed marriage. If not, according to NEW Test scripture they will not inherit the Kingdom of God. Its pretty clear, that said, may God's WORD be true forever !

    J.... A....

    Wow! Really???!!!! Maybe you should read Romans 3:23. We have all sinned. Amy and Vince are human. Not perfect. How do you know what they have been through. The only unpardonable sin is not accepting Jesus as your Saviour. God bless you Merry Christmas 🙏🎄

  23. J.... L....

    Dennis - You are so right!

  24. C.... B....

    This is the only song in the whole universe that literally steals my breath. I'm a singer, and sing ALL the time - but this song, sung this way by Amy Grant, stills my voice - so that my soul can feel God.

  25. J.... k....

  28. K.... C....

    This rendition of the song by Amy Grant has always been one of my favorite Christmas songs. As I was listening to this I was tearing up thinking about Mary and what she had to go through, knowing what her son would have to endure.

  29. D.... S....

    Jesus Bethlehem was born of virgin Mary February 24 Jesus Nazareth was born of Nazareth women not me . Adam Joseph Moses Ishmael Gidian Yeshua king David's youngest son born god and women

  31. A.... M....

    Imagine how Mary felt...knowing one day a thorn would pierce her heart. She deserves for all generations to call her blessed. This song holds a special place in my 💓 and always moves my spirit...even in the hardest of times.

  32. T.... J....

    Beautiful song

  33. P.... A....

    Beautiful ❤️

    Sheesh his majesty he's alive and very well and mighty God

  35. l.... c....

    Amy’s voice was perfect for this song. Amy just sounds like Christmas!

  36. S.... ....

    Exquisite. Among contemporary Christmas songs, this one is on a level with Mary, Did You Know? and Welcome To Our World, and superior both musically and lyrically even to many beloved carols...

  37. I.... C....

    Oh sweet Blessed Mother of God and mine, pray for us!

  38. L.... B....

    I had the honor of singing this song as a solo in our Christmas cantata (titled appropriately, "Breath Of Heaven") a few Christmases ago. Such a beautiful song and I love Amy's rendition!

    L.... B....

    Lisa Ballantyne I’m singing it this year at our Christmas Eve service. Certainly won’t measure up to Grant, but my heart will be there.

  39. T.... R....

    Beautiful!

  40. J.... W....

    Every time I watch this video, and hear this song, I think, "This is how it must have been, at the first Christmas".😊💒

    I'm only listening to this because my chorus is singing it for our Christmas performance, but it is pretty good!

  49. C.... M....

    This is my favorite Christmas carol.

  50. E.... A....

    I love this song. Amy sings it beautifully.

  51. a.... m....

    A simple beautiful song whose meaning is lost by so many
    It is tragic to realize there’s so many of us that are truly nothing more than lemmings
    Following the lies of their pastors motivated solely by monetary greed!
    Never ever forget that Jesus first miracle was at His Mother’s request!

  52. o.... ....

    Ode of the Theotokos:

    My soul magnifies the Lord,

    and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,

    for he has looked with favour on the lowliness of his servant.

    Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed;

    for the Mighty One has done great things for me,

    and holy is his name.

    His mercy is for those who fear him

    from generation to generation.

    He has shown strength with his arm;

    he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts.

    He has brought down the powerful from their thrones,

    and lifted up the lowly;

    he has filled the hungry with good things,

    and sent the rich away empty.

    He has helped his servant Israel,

    in remembrance of his mercy,

    according to the promise he made to our ancestors,

    to Abraham and to his descendants forever.

    This song echoes through all space and time, beyond what my human experience may or may not believe. Faith in creation, purpose, salvation, sacred holiness and the breath of heaven moves my spirit to its knees humbled in the face of pure light.

    @Amy Grant @daverukke

  70. C.... M....

    I really LOVE this song❤❤

  71. J.... D....

    I still like Vince Gill’s version best, especially with the orchestration on the 5.1 DTS. The description notes that Amy changed a few words to be from a woman's perspective — that means that Vince’s would be the original. I always assumed it was the other way around.

    J.... D....

    No...unquestionable the emotional lyrics of this song is for a woman.

  72. B.... H....

    Id go crazy without him

    My Mom was very sick most of 2018. She passed away a few days before Christmas, and this song played every time I got in my car. Going to or coming home from the hospital until she passed. It gave me a lot of comfort.

  93. c.... b....

    This song is about the miracle of Joseph having a baby.

  94. c.... b....

    As far as I am aware and I could be wrong but the movie of witch you take the pictures the girl was very young and purposely got pregnant just for the movie. I could be wrong but in my small world especially in mainstream Christian circles you don't get pregnant just to be in a movie. You get pregnant so you get moor money on the social welfare benefits John 17b:66. Is this movie the life of the muslime Jesus?

    c.... b....

    No it's not! It's about the birth of the Saviour... Keisha Castle-Hughes the girl who played Mary......she was 16, pregnant and not married. And so what. Are you perfect yet ?!!!!!!!!! Merry Christmas

    c.... b....

    Romans 3:23.....have you read that verse?

  95. E.... A....

    Amy is simply Awesome !

    This song came to mind this morning, not sure why. But I just knew I needed to hear it. So here I am. Just getting off from work. And listening to this wonderful piece.
