Video of Hymn St. Patrick's Breastplate, sung by Angelina (EWTN)



This hymn is taken from two CDs Songs of the Faithful and Wake Up Call. Angelina travelled to the Hill of Slane in County Meath (Ireland) to film this beautiful song. She also went over to the very famous Grafton Street in Dublin. This video was shot in one day and the director was Manuel DeTeffe of Rome. Arrangement was by Shaun Davey, mechanical and synch license were obtained through HFA. Saint Patrick's Breastplate is an old Irish Christian hymn. It is generally assumed that Saint Patrick wrote the Old Irish lyrics during his Irish ministry in the 5th century. However there is a school of thought that it may have written in the 8th century.It is part of the Liber Hymnorum (Book of Hymns)- a collection of hymns found in two manuscripts kept in Dublin.
Cecil Frances Humphreys Alexander translated the hymn from old Irish into English.

Barclay James Harvest:Hymn (Video and Lyrics)



This song emphasizes the dangers of drug abuse. It was dedicated to musicians like Jimi Hendrix, Paul Kossoff and Janis Joplin. It contrasts the temporary thrill of illegal drug use with the spiritual "high" of Christianity. Religious imagery permeates this classic.



Valley's deep and the mountain's so high

If you want to see God you've got to move on the other side

You stand up there with your head in the clouds

Don't try to fly you know you might not come down

Don't try to fly, dear God, you might not come down

Jesus came down from Heaven to earth

The people said it was a virgin birth

Jesus came down from Heaven to earth

The people said it was a virgin birth



He told great stories of the Lord

And said he was the saviour of us all

He told great stories of the Lord

And said he was the saviour of us all



For this they/we killed him, nailed him up high

He rose again as if to ask us why

Then he ascended into the sky

As if to say in God alone you soar

As if to say in God alone we fly.



Valley's deep and the mountain's so high

If you want to see God you've got to move on the other side

You stand up there with your head in the clouds

Don't try to fly you know you might not come down

Don't try to fly, dear God, you might not come down

Washington State Atheists attack Christmas: Bill O'Reilly v. Gov. Gregoire

In Washington State, the Capitol Building is displaying: a Nativity scene, a Christmas tree, and an atheism sign which reads:
"There are no Gods, no devils, no Angels, no Heaven or Hell.There is only our natural world.Religion is but myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds."

The sign was placed by the "Freedom from Religion Foundation" on behalf of its State members. Washington State Governor Christine Gregoire refuses to have the sign removed.
This outrageous attack is part of a developing campaign by atheists to eradicate all vestiges of Christianity from American society. The text of this atheism sign displays a hatred and contempt for Christianity which is in sharp contrast to the message of hope and love associated with the Nativity scene.
The sign contains a list of absolute statements none of which can be proven.
In contrast there is sufficient evidence to prove the veracity of the Christian message.
The Culture War is alive and well. The secular liberal fascists-although a tiny minority-have been emboldened by the reticence of many politicians to represent the views of the Christian majority.

Breath of Heaven-Amy Grant



Breath Of Heaven


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.

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.
Breath of heaven.
