Breath of Heaven

This weekend I caught up on some DVR. I was watching the Country Music Christmas Special. Country music and Christmas - what can be better?!

Amy Grant (I know she isn't a country star but she is married to one so I guess that counts) sang a song that I really like - Breath of Heaven.

This time listening to it, I really listened to the words and found that this song is relevant in my life. How often are we asked to be Mary? To do something we are terrified of or have a responsibility from God that we aren't quite sure we can handle. How many times do we think, "God, am I really the right person for this?"

This will be my prayer anytime I feel inadequate for the task in front of me.

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

God will not bring us into anything we can't handle. And when it seems too big, He will hold me together.
