B5 
I have traveled many moonless nights 
D5 
Cold and weary with a babe inside 
B5    E5        G5 
And I wonder what I've done 
B5     E5       G5 
Holy Father, you have come 
A5 (no3)    G5 (no3) A5 (no3)     B5 
and chosen me now to carry your son 
 
{simile}   

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 
    A5 (no3)     G5 (no3) A5 (no3)     D5 (no3) 
    Be with me now,   be with me now 
D5                 G5         D5 
Breath of heaven, hold me together 
G5     F#5  B5 
be forever near me 
A5       D5 (no3) 
Breath of heaven 
D5                 G5          D5 
Breath of heaven, lighten my darkness 
G5         F#5     B5 
pour over me your holiness 
A5   ( A5 ) 
for you are holy, 
B5 
Breath of heaven  

{simile} 

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 
    A5 (no3)     G5 (no3)  A5 (no3)  G5 (no3) A5 (no3) D5 (no3) 
    Help me be strong, help me be,    help    me

{ outro: ) 

{chords to refrain} 

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, 
D5     ( G5 ) 
Breath of heaven 
D5     ( G5 ) 
Breath of heaven 
D5     ( G5 )  D5 
Breath of heaven
