I'm surprised too; this song has so few lyrics it's easy to elude the meaning.
This song comes right after "(B Quiet Interlude)" and before "Come Awake". This is 100% purposeful as the album as a whole is about the collision between heaven and earth within someone's heart--what happens when we realize the infinite resides right along with the finite (as in "A Beautiful Collision"). During the interlude, the person is quieting him/herself down to listen to God speak straight to their heart. "Come Awake" is about realization that we do not have to live with the deadly weight of sin upon us. This song is therefore the bridge between the two. At first he still has some inhibition, but then he finds himself meditating on the idea of Christ's sacrifice, almost struck by that idea, breathless. He is too focused on the death part of the equation though, I think; but God tells him to keep breathing in deeper, trying to show him that he walks in life (which is later addressed in "Come Awake").
