"And Mary said, 'Yes, I see it all now: I'm the Lord's maid, ready to serve. Let it be with me just as you say.' Then the angel left her." ::Luke 1:38 (Message)::

EJ'S COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS: 11 DAYS!

One of my favorite Christmas songs is originally by Amy Grant and called "Breath of Heaven." It's from Mary's perspective and how she probably felt waiting to give birth to the Son of God. It is a beautiful song.

This version of the song is interpreted into sign language.



"Breath of Heaven" by Amy Grant

"I have traveled many moonless night
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
Light up 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 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 up my darkness
Pour over me your holiness
For you are holy
Breath of heaven"

May He always be near you to lighten your darkness.
