Grant, Amy - 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]

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

    May the Lord cover you with His powerful glory..
    My journey my walk with my Father has been amazing.
    Oh how I pray that the lost souls come out of the darkness into the light..
    He will never fail us

  2. B.... F....

    This sounds a lot like a Kate Bush song. And the singer is trying to sound like her also.

  3. d.... a....

    This video was uploaded on one of my happiest birthdays, this song has always reignited my faith. its been a hard day for me but there is nothing quite like the breath heaven to help me through my sorrows.

  4. o.... ....

    "my mother and brothers are the ones who do my Heavenly Fathers will. " Jesus Christ

  5. B.... H....

    I went to a catholic girls school and i had the rosary shoved down my throat more than i can count so now i dont go to church at all now cos ive got much better things to do than go do something pointless like church

    B.... H....

    Going to church is not a requirement for salvation. Millions of people around the world don't even have access to a church. If you were soured by the rituals of the Catholic church, try a contemporary non-denominational church. If merely the thought of going to a church turns you off, pull out a Bible and immerse yourself in it. Believe me, salvation is *not* pointless.

    It's really hard not to cry whilst listening to this beautiful song 😢

    Thank you, Ms. Amy

  20. A.... S....

    THE GREATEST GIFT YOU COULD GIVE YOUR FAMILY THIS CHRISTMAS IS A CHANGED HEART & LIFE KNOWING YOU GAVE YOUR HEART & LIFE TO JESUS YOU GOT SAVED.

  21. R.... R....

    God sent his son to teach love, peace & humility to all but 2000 years later we haven't learned as yet.

    R.... R....

    Things are getting better. Let us teach the gospel of love, peace & humility regardless of religion or lack thereof. We are all here for that mission.

  22. S.... F....

    Finally, some good Christian music!

    Heaven sent🙏🏻✝️

  25. E.... ....

    Such a beautiful yet powerful song.

  26. J.... G....

    I agree, it had to be exciting and wondrous to be carrying the Savior of the world. Mary was also despised adn rejected since she was pregnant before her actual marriage. She was only yet betrothed to Joseph. It was well known because even when Jesus was in ministry the Pharisees refer to him as illegitimate. I'm sure Mary went through much more than we can imagine.

  27. R.... ....

    Nativity, a Wonderful Movie

  28. G.... W....

    Wonderful ,my favorite Christmas song. Amy is sooo good!

  29. R.... R....

    Breath of Heaven - The Nativity...lest we forget the meaning of Christmas. 🙏🏻

  30. J.... M....

    Donna Summer shouldn't have done her version of this. Because her vocal is extraordinary and it is like she is living the lyrics. Not fair to Amy.

  31. D.... K....

    Thank you, needed this...

  32. L.... P....

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

  33. C.... M....

    This is my favorite Christmas song.

  34. 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”.

    Such a beautiful song. Really blessed my soul. Thank you Jesus.

  36. T.... H....

    Have no respect for her! Just because she can sing don't mean she saved!
    I was saved in june of 1986. I loved her so much. So sad how she went after another man 😥

    T.... H....

    I don't understand how you think that makes her less of a Christian. You have no idea what she went through with her ex Gary Chapman. Remember God looks at the heart. I'm positive you aren't perfect. What do you need forgiven for ???? Lots I'm sure. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Read Romans 3:23. Really put a comment about how beautiful the song is....don't be judgemental. We're all human , not perfect..... Thanks to the Grace of God and his Mercy. Merry Christmas 🕊️🕊️🎄🎄🕊️

    T.... H....

    @Aimee Murray " Let he who is without sin...." One of the most misused, misinterpreted passages in the Bible. Used by the secular world and some Christians to try and obtain the moral high ground and shut off any opposing opinion, the same worn tactic as calling someone a "raaasacist"
    It's lazy theology.

    I didn't see you much.
    It gave me chills when I was little.

    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.

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

  65. 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...

  66. I.... C....

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

  67. 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!

    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.

  78. C.... M....

    This is my favorite Christmas carol.

  79. E.... A....

    I love this song. Amy sings it beautifully.

  80. 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!

  81. 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.
