How 'bout that!
wearydreamer's interpretation is what mine has always been.
I have always heard it to mean that people go through life expecting Jesus to extend his hand and save everybody, when in fact Jesus has told us to go through life helping each other. In other words, God helps mankind THROUGH us, and we are his agents. We shouldn't be sitting around waiting for somebody else to do it. WE have to do it.
I always think of that quotation from the Bible:
"Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me"
I am not religious - not in the least. But this has always been the way I hear the song.
