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
