Christmas Eve on the Road to Bethlehem

It was a day like any other day.

For months now, she had been preparing for this

Ever since the pronouncement came

She had made room in her home and her heart

She had sat in wonder of what life would be like

I have traveled many moonless nights

Cold and weary with a babe inside

It was a day like any other day.

For months now, she had been preparing for this

Ever since the pronouncement came

She had wondered, Why her

She had thought, Was it honour, or was it shame

And I wonder what I've done

Holy Father, You have come

And chosen me now to carry Your Son

It was a day like any other day.

For months now, she had been preparing for this

Ever since the pronouncement came

She had struggled with the uncertainty

She had wondered if it had been sheer craziness

I am waiting in a silent prayer

I am frightened by the load I bear

It was a day like any other day.

For months now, she had been preparing for this

Ever since the pronouncement came

She had found judgment in the eyes of those that didn't understand

She had also found patience in the ones that loved her

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

It was a day like any other day.

For months now, she had been waiting for this

Ever since she chose to be a part of The Plan

And now she chose to obey the law of the land

And now she chose to take the road to Bethlehem

Do you wonder as you watch my face

If a wiser one should have had my place?

It was a day like any other day.

For months now, she had been waiting for this

Ever since she chose to be a part of The Plan

And now she chose to continue on the dusty roads

And now she chose to wander further into the unknown

But I offer all I am

For the mercy of Your plan

Help me be strong, 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

It was a day like any other day.

Or was it?
