BREATH of HEAVEN (Amy Grant)
BREATH OF HEAVEN (Amy Grant)
Words and music: Chris Eaton & Amy Grant
[A couple of notes: "simile" means 'after the same fashion.'
In other words, same chords as the last verse that sounded
like this. Also D2(no3) means D-E-A. On guitar you play
this is a D chord with the high E left open. Some TABers
would call this D2, but I reserve that designation for
D-F#-A-E.
B(m)
I have traveled many moonless nights
D
Cold and weary with a babe inside
Bm7 Em G
And I wonder what I've done
Bm7 Em G
Holy Father, you have come
A(no3) G(no3) A(no3) B(m)
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
A(no3) G(no3) A(no3) D2(no3)
Be with me now, be with me now
{ refrain: }
D G D
Breath of heaven, hold me together
G F#7 Bm
be forever near me
A/g D(no3)
Breath of heaven
D G D
Breath of heaven, lighten my darkness
G F#7 Bm
pour over me your holiness
Asus/e (A)
for you are holy,
B(m)
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
A(no3) G(no3) A(no3) G(no3) A(no3) D2(no3)
Help me be strong, help me be, help me
{ refrain }
{ 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,
D (G)
Breath of heaven
D (G)
Breath of heaven
D (G) D
Breath of heaven
