On the Way to Wonder

         I woke this morning in tears and feeling very weak in the face of the future without my husband who is now deceased.  My son who is visiting grieved with me and went to his playlist and played this Christmas song that Amy Grant sang beautifully and which is sung in the movie “Nativity” by Mary enroute to Bethlehem.  She is pondering the birth of her baby and all the uncertainty of what would be.  I face the unknown future as a widow.  I do not know your challenge but the words after the first verse are my prayer today.  I pray it blesses you too.

•          I have traveled many moonless nights
  
  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,
• 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.
  
  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,  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,  Breath of heaven.
