[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.
Please let me know if you find any errors, and I apologize
for them in advance.  Alan (humm@ccat.sas.upenn.edu)]

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
A(no3)    G(no3) A(no3)     B(m)
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
Must I walk this path alone

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
