I have traveled many moonless nights
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
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
CHORUS:
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
Repeat chorus twice
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
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
CHORUS:
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
Repeat chorus twice

But yes, this is a beautiful song. It's about a pregnancy, yet I (a guy) easily see a parallel with my Christian journey.
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.
"Hold me together
Be forever near me"
just an amazing interpretation of Mary's journey, and our need for god to help us.
