As a woman I am emotionally driven sometimes. Yes, I am one of those that cries over sappy old movies and "Kleenex" comercials and even story books I am reading to my children; but mostly it's music that gets me. This song is no exeption. Sometimes in my day I need to breathe a prayer, and sometimes circumstances seem so overwhelming that I have no clue what to pray or how. These words come to mind and give peace. I sing them and rest.
If life gets tough for you and me, could you imagine how Mary must have felt at times raising children of her own and the Messiah all in the same house? Yes, my "Problems" - opportunities as I like to call them - vanish away. They pale in comparison to that mothers worries. Her prayer of surrender, her cry for provision are beautifully put together in a song called Breath of Heaven by Donna Summer.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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
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
Breath of heaven
Hold me together
Be forever near me
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Light in my darkness
Pour over me your holiness
For you are holy
Breath of heaven
Wishing all a Merry Christmas,
VeryVerdant
