Between Breaths

We’re in the time of waiting now,

That pause between two breaths.
The moment between redemption
And all life’s hopeless deaths.
 
I know that I have been redeemed,
But still I mark this night,
Praying that darkness will soon be
Eclipsed by boundless light.
 
For once again I realize
What I caused on that cross,
And that He faced it willingly.
To Him, I’m worth the loss.  
 
And so I sit here in the night,
Between life and harsh death,
Waiting in silence for the world
To breathe in its next breath.
