The Nativity and "Breath of Heaven"

"The Nativity" is a short film produced by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I have replaced the original audio with Amy Grant's "Breath of Heaven" and they match almost perfectly!

God sees how you live for Him, and if you truly have accepted Him into your life, and you live for Him, He will bless you even greater. You are already blessed by Him, you might not always see it, but the fact that you are alive today to read this (if you are) proves that God blesses you.

[@Midnightlove151]

My high school choir is singing this in our Christmas Concert tomorrow. My choir teacher told us that she picked this song for us to sing because historians have said that mary could have been as young as 13. She believed we could relate to the song in a way. She explained the fear and loneliness Mary may have gone through. She really got some of us to think about it. I love Mrs. Garrett to death.

[@rasberryjamalicia]

I love this because of the prayer for God to "hold her together," to "lighten her darkness." I feel like that too in my life, I think that's why I relate to this so much. A scripture I love is "my joy is carried away, even unto boasting in my God; for he has all power, all wisdom, and all understanding: he comprehendeth all things, and he is a merciful Being, even unto salvation, to those who will repent and believe on His name."-Alma 26:35

[@390fe390]

Possibly one of the most beautiful songs ever written! Just imagine, if this song is this amazing and was written by man/woman, how wonderful are the songs we sing in Heaven going to be!!

[@AlexanderGailson]

Thank you for the pure love, simplicity and faith of this video. God, through Jesus Christ, came for all the world and entrusts those who believe in Him to carry the message of Him, in love, to all the world. Do not tear down His kingdom on earth by arguing, build Him a kingdom worthy of His majesty through love and tolerance. Praise His name!

[@SolidRock91]

God has not left you or forsaken you, He is simply waiting for you to give your all to Him, not just Sundays and every once in a while when you read His word, but all of it... Then He can show you how mighty He is and work mightily through you :)

[@snoopygidget]

This is so beautiful! It's a wonderful reminder of the greatest gift ever given-The gift of Christ from our wonderful Heavenly Father who loves us! I think about where we all would be if it weren't for the atonement of Jesus Christ, and it makes his birth seem so much more important than any gift giving or stressful things that go on during this time of the year. I love my Savior, I find joy in his spirit, and I am thankful for this special time of the year that makes it so easy to think of him.

[@SolidRock91]

I love this song... It is one of the best I have seen of a music video for a christmas song about Jesus. Good job.

[@JaneyMcLaney]

I love this. I actually did a very similar thing; I sang this song while playing the video (muted of course) for a Relief Society Christmas devotional several years back. How powerful it is! (especially because I was pregnant with my youngest son at the time, and could really understand Mary's worries) Thanks!

[@bunsie2]

This is beautiful! Thank you for sharing! It is awesome & helps us remember the TRUE reason for the season - Christ birth! May the Christians all across the world unite & recognize that Christmas is about CHRIST! Not gifts, but the birth of our Savior. Merry Christmas!

[@Majora27]

This was absolutely awesome with a powerful message. I had to share this with all of my family and loved ones. I just had a newborn baby boy and it had me thinking a lot. The spirit of the "Breath of Heaven" touched my soul. Thank you for sharing this Christmas message and the birth of Christ with all who will accept it.

[@MyAntonio27]

Esta es una de mis canciones favoritas la escuche hace mas de 10 años cantada por una gran amiga ,su significado es grande

[@bethhaines6340]

Lord thankyou for abso,utely everything youre my strength always you never change bless you lord

[@maryrunyan647]

This is such a beautiful song...I cannot help wondering what I might do if I were asked to do what Mary was asked to do. Can you imagine having the son of God! Love, In Christ, Mary

[@KevinPammett]

Wow! I really love this one, and Talk about powerful !!! It amazes me how much this one really helps me 'get' what it must have been like for Mary to ride into Bethlehem in that world. This is the way I like to see the Christmas Story told ! Thanks so much !!!

[@coripevny6460]

This is beautiful! My family and I play these together on Christmas Eve and have for many years. Plus, every other year, a multi-faith choir I sing in, sing this song with The Nativity playing on a huge screen in our church. It's one of my most favorite things about Christmas!

[@bjt7897]

I would love a copy of this on DVD. We have watched this every year at Christmas, and tonight we had some technical difficulties getting the CD and video to play at the same time. I told my family it would be great to have it all on one disk!

[@MandyMarie]

I'm an Agnostic and this video has touched my heart so nicely... Kudos to you! n.n

[@polaris92220]

Beautiful song and great video. Thanks for puttin 'er together!

[@bethhaines6340]

Thanks so much for always being so patient with me

[@docspal]

I had the same idea of combining the song with the video. I remember when we used to play the VHS on mute and synchronize it with the CD. Amazing how well the two fit together.

[@sandyhowe3512]

I am so grateful for you!!

[@vladtech]

Thanks for sharing!!! I love that video and I appreciate how you overlayed that music. Thanks again.

[@LisaGenix]

Absolutely beautiful - breathtaking and touching. For ANYONE who sincerely believes in Jesus Christ.

[@DYMINMDFARROW]

this song makes me cry

[@kimmychan1967]

Thanks for posting this. We don't live in Utah or have BYU channel so I haven't seen this. The song does go perfectly--great job!

[@DesertMouse298]

@JaneyMcLaney What a blessing to experience the holidays as Mary would "with child." I don't know how you could hold it together to sing it without letting your emotions take over.

[@dojomo53]

Very well done, seems appropriate for Christmas Eve, to bring the Spirit into home where commercialism has taken over.

[@Edwardrocks232]

thank you for this video thank you thank you thank you!

[@rosestokes6998]

Thank you. Our family has had a tradition of watching this video with this song in the background, this makes it so easy. Thank so very much for placing this on U-Tube. I love that those with short attention spans can watch this (children especially). I also love the movie the Nativity Story, but not as appropriate as this for very young children. Thanks again!

[@johnman570]

beautiful. very beautiful

[@bunsie2]

And the myth again, WE ARE CHRISTIANS! Why else would we have CHRIST name in our name, THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS. Merry Christmas!

[@aftermatho4]

this song is soooooo awesome :) :)

[@leiatyndall]

This song calms me when I need it, like after all this Orlando shooting stuff.

[@tbrochny]

Very nice. Thanks.

[@dancetapballet]

thank you for this.

[@morninggloryone]

Sometimes. Holidays are Hard. For me too. May this Song be a Gift from God to You too. To Keep Focused on the Reason for the Season. Happy ThanXGiving Blessings. Jesus said, "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from me, for my yoke is easy and my burden is light," (Matthew 11:28-230 NIV). +

[@sandyhowe3512]

Thank you Shawn!!! I am smiling right now!

[@ToddBeck]

This is one of my favorite songs. She does an amazing job with it, too. But it's a shame to replace the video's original sound. For me, the natural voices, animal noises, and ambient sounds made me feel like I was really there, in the city, in the stable. What an experience that would have been. This video is a masterpiece. No wonder people are so moved by it.

[@unclebob50]

I made this from the same song with a twist on the he video kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaeXi3qgoLKGZrM

[@playerpage]

bsymom68, This video is available through the "distribution center" of the LDS Church for only a couple of dollars. Look for it as a supplement to the "Mr. Krueger's Christmas" DVD, also a great film (with James Stewart). The Distribution Center may be found through the LDS. org website.

[@RogerPack]

awesome!

[@ritansands]

amazing!

[@luvlykenz3324]

Beautiful!

[@dancingal720]

It's a great video and song, it's such a shame some people criticize and think they know how a certain religion preaches they really have No idea what they are talking about. I always think as long as people believe in something it's not my place to say what they believe is wrong or right.

[@raidingtombs]

Beautiful job! Snoopygidget thanks for your comment. No matter what Christian faith you are, this is a lovely video that summons the spirit of Christmas.

[@Edwardrocks232]

@ajourneythroughlife same here thank you for your comment

[@ShawnDowler]

Best part at 4:33 The video and music fit perfectly!

[@johnman570]

I'm going to play this on my cello for the stake choir. I'm just trying to get the notes down to play it. If anyone transcribed it, please reply to me or leave a message

[@ShawnDowler]

It's crazy to think that I put this together 6 years ago. You were the one who showed this to me with a CD player and VHS tape and gave me the idea to do this here. I have a DVD quality version of this if you ever need one.

[@lorianderson5191]

Yes Please!

[@johndeweb]

Great music! Great clip! Needs some crowd noise for continuity & piquantness!

[@nicoleshapiro]

Can you PLEASE tell me how you did this! I tried to figure out how to substitute this song for the sound track in the movie last year and couldn't do it. I would love it if you could let me know what you did! Love it! :-)

[@sandyhowe3512]

Yes, I remember...I asked you to make the dvd for me after we moved out here. I would like another one if possible..can't find mine

[@gretchenmathews71]

Yes!!! Please tell me how to download this!!!

[@mamyjene11]

ME!!!!!!! 2!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@SirBobTaylor]

Moving.

[@JaredLeeManning]

I would love to have a copy of this. Is it possible to get a dvd of this? Pleade let me know.

[@wesdog784]

@livelygranny4Jesus SHUN THE NON-BELIEVER!!! Shunnn Shuuuhhuhuhuhunnnnnnah

[@dpiedra1520]

Where is the original short one that was done as a commercial for TV? Can't find it anywhere ... it was like 1:30 to 2:00 min long

[@gretchenmathews71]

I would like to know how to download this. We have had this as our Christmas tradition for almost that long!! We lost our VHS player. It is just not the same on a computer as on the TV. Thanks!!

[@snoopygidget]

To whoever believes that the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints do not believe that only through Christ we can be saved, I would invite you to read the Book of Mormon. The principles of our religion are founded upon Jesus Christ and his atonement and resurrection. Please don't take away from the beauty of this video by attacking our faith. Instead of grieving for us, find joy in Christ and your faith, and have a Merry Christmas.

[@crystalhill3931]

I would like to show it in YW sunday. Is there a way to download?

[@spygrant00]

Is there a higher quality/resolution version of this available for download?

[@ng658622]

Would it be possible to upload that DVD quality version?

[@inspectordm]

@livelygranny4Jesus What is your understanding of the origin of Lucifer?

[@wenjentrue]

@livelygranny4Jesus -- It is good to see by your address that you love the Lord Jesus Christ. Here is something that may intrigue you from the Book of Mormon, 2 Nephi 25: 26 And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins. The LDS people invite all to come unto Christ, & to be saved thru His merits alone.

[@avxxenxn]

So abd

[@flammertime]

I am really hoping to download this to my computer. Is that at all possible? Please let me know asap. Thanks!

[@courtneyputnam1471]

Go to keepvid.com That is how I download educational videos.

[@andy-the-gardener]

ahh at the birth of a little extra baby horus, buddha etc etc.

[@mamyjene11]

We do belive in Jesus every time we pray we end it in the name of Jesus Christ. The only reason the Book of Morman is Called the Book of Morman is Because Morman was the last man to wright in it. The B.O.M. is all about Christ coming to the Americas and him being resurected. If you have any questions reply to me or leave me a message

[@SolidRock91]

No dude, God has not forsaken you, You must not realize that it is so much more than just going 2 church or reading God's word, but it's like a relationship. You need to seek after God's very being by daily prayer, and live for Him in everything you do.

[@Edwardrocks232]

@HadarHed got what?

[@JakobDailes]

@Cleiko Uh... no... Jesus even tells us that not all "Christians" will go to Heaven (Matt.7:21-23). Differences add up, especially sinful ones.

[@ShawnDowler]

You can't be serious. By the definition that a Christian must believe in creeds such as the Nicene creed, maybe. But Mormons certainly believe in Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior and as the only begotten Son of God. That's why they made this.

[@dlakers85]

@livelygranny4Jesus Instead of simply name calling and trying to tear people down, please try to (1) offer a constructive comment (as a Christian should), or (2) at least substantiate your claims. For example, is there a place in the Bible that says Christ is NOT the spirit brother of lucifer? Such a comment could contribute to a real discussion. Also, that belief is obscure at best. I've only had people try to use that to pick fights with me since Mike Huckabee said that.

[@davegode]

@perfectgrn So you're saying my choice for concern for others, before concern for my "destination" after death, is a sin worthy of eternal pain and suffering? And as long as people express their belief publicly that their's are the "one truth" and that anything else will have you suffering for eternity, the killing in the name of Religion will never lose it's lead as #1 killer.

[@Sk8er408]

I like the original better.

[@AnneBrad9]

Terminology confusion here. Mormons believe there is one Supreme God our Father, but others bear the title God-- in the same way there is one Heavenly Father, but every dad bears the title father. Jesus Christ Savior of the World is a God AND the Only Begotten Son of God our Eternal Father. He is the God of the Old Testament, later born into the world to become its Savior under the direction of Heavenly Father. The Holy Ghost also bears the title God. 3 Gods being one in purpose.

[@malachysolan8177]

hello i do not know you

[@comeonyougarn]

i suggest you look further into the teachings of the latter day saints, you are obviously unaware of their doctrine or of the correct view of the saviour...the name of the church is The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter day saints...sorry, you are wrong. Merry Christmas.

[@patriotsongs]

Not Christian according to your definition, but perhaps your definition is incorrect? Have you read the Book of Mormon, the second witness for Christ? "In the mouths of two or more witnesses shall all things be established." Jesus is the Son and the Creator. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are one God, as several members are one family. If you want to know if our definition of Christian is valid, read the Book of Mormon, and then pray about it. You DO believe God answers prayer, don't you?

[@davegode]

@perfectgrn Does it not seem selfish to you, what you just said? Why would a "loving God" send me to an eternity in hell, if I am more concerned with the condition of humanity, than the assurance of a spot in heaven? And in terms of the problems around the world, Religion is the #1 cause of human death period, with all forms of Christianity very guilty. That should be enough of a wake up call for humanity. What makes your beliefs different from that of any other human?

[@RaidersRock]

Point of Grace's version is better

[@raeofsunshine17]

@yskdl1998 I don't know where you get your info, but that 100% false, and I know because I have been a member my whole life. And also, have you tried reading the Book of Mormon? If you read it with an open mind and heart, you will find the teachings to be very similar to, and expounding upon the teachings of the Bible. They both teach of Christ and his love, and the things we must do to return to Him. I know this to be true because I have felt it.

[@winadvertising]

It is beautiful. But be careful about the use of this song. Amy Grant has harsh opinions about the church, she may not approve of this. Beautiful nonetheless!

[@bunsie2]

That is not true! We, the entire EARTH, are ALL children of GOD! He wants everyone of us to return to him...If you want to know the TRUTH about the LDS church, you need to go to the SOURCE, not go to someone who doesn't understand our religion. You are not going to go to a Catholic priest to learn about the Baptist are you? The same applies here, go to the source for the information. Anit-Mormon literature is NOT the source.

[@bunsie2]

Huh? What does this have to do with this video? You need to check your spelling too....sorry, this is not the place for your religious rantings.

[@polaris92220]

Beautiful song and great video. Thanks for puttin 'er together!

[@sfgiantpoet]

why cant i see the facebook icon anymore? how do i get this back again?
