Okay, clearly this song is about God, and God alone. If you don't realize that, then sorry, but you are dumb. There is so many lines in this song that apply only to God, and make it obvious that it is God that this song is about.
For Example:
"This one last call that You mentioned is my one last shot at redemption
because I know to live you must give your life away"
The songwriter is being called by God, and is just now realizing that God is the only way to Heaven. He knows that he has to put his life into God's hands and have God come into his heart to live forever in Heaven.
"And I’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity
The person talking in this song is saying here that he knows that God is missing from his life and it is causing doubts and insecurity.
"I've been locked inside this house and all the while you hold the key"
Here he is saying that he was "locked" in the state of not knowing God. He knew there was something missing in his life and he wasn't sure how to get it "all the while You hold the key" is saying that God holds the "key" to salvation in his forgivness...you just have to accept it for yourself.
"And even though, there’s no way in knowing where to go, promise I’m going"
Here he is saying that even though he doesn't know where God wants him to go or what he's supposed to be doing with his life, but he trusts God and will go where ever God wants him to go, even if he isn't sure about it. he knows God will send him where he's supposed to be.
"I’m giving up I’m doing this alone now"
This is the line that confuses most people in weather or not this song is about God. When it says that he is "doing this alone now", it doesn't mean he's doing it without God (which is how it sounds when you first hear the song,) but is really saying that he is doing whatever God asks him without the other people who lead him away from God. He spent so much time listening to others that mislead him and brought him away from God. Now he is finding God for himself and is doing it without the people who lead him wrong.
"Cause I’ve failed and I’m ready to be shown how
He’s told me the way and I’m trying to get there"
This line says that without God, his life failed. He couldn't do anything without God and now he's letting God show him what to do instead of trying to do everything on his own.
"And this life sentence that I’m serving
I admit that I’m every bit deserving"
This is my favorite line in the song! it says that we have all sinned and deserve our "life sentance"..in otherwords, we all deserve to go to Hell. But because Jesus lead a perfect life and was sacraficed for our sins, we are all saved if we believe that Jesus died to save us all. None of us deserve Heaven because we have all sinned. In this line, the songwriter is realizing and confessing all of this.
"But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair"
usually when we say something isn't fair, we mean that it is not good for us, but that's definatly not the case in this line. Here it is saying that we do NOT deserve Heaven, but because of the "grace" (meaning Jesus dying on the cross as the perfect sacrafice to save us all from Hell) we are saved, and that is not fair...but it's not fair in our FAVOR! Jesus should not have had to suffer for us. He lead a PERFECT life...yet he we put to death like a criminal. That is definatly not fair, but because of this, we see the "beauty of grace", and are saved, when really we should ALL be condemed to Hell.....Pretty much, it wasn't fair that Jesus died, but because he did, we are all saved.
"And all I’m asking is for You to do what You can with me"
Here, he is asking God to use him in any way he wants. He is saying that he will do what ever is asked of him to fulfill God's will.
"I fought You for so long
I should have let You in
Oh how we regret those things we do"
Here he is saying that he alwas knew he needed to accept God, but he didn't for a long time, and he regrets it now that he know's the truth...pretty straight forward huh?
"And all I was trying to do was save my own skin
But so were You"
This line is saying that for the longest time he was trying to save himself. Now he finally realizes that because he is only human, he can't save himself. And the whole time he was trying to save himself, God was tryig to save him too.
I know this is about god considering they are christian rock band. but to call someone stupid for thinking its not is rude... and half the lines you say are obviously about god could be about a girl too -.-
