Between one world and the next
holding on, praying, hoping
Fighting for this world and the next
unrest, willful, our own way
Then pleas of forgiveness
will God accept this broken
Life, lived and yet the cross
shows what is broken is
Sacred, a light to all who dare
to see the brilliance of the
Sky illumined with our prayers
between us held in offering
