Actually garland2alike, I had a completely different thought when I first listened to the song. I think it is a song about the great commission.
He speaks about how God will lead us when the road gets dark. We were born (born again) to take the greatest light. (the light of the Gospel)
Matthew 10:16 "Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves."
God will send us, and we are to use wisdom "born of love" meaning, God's wisdom. We are to carry visions from above and the flame into every dark place. This is the mission of the great commission.
Jesus often called his disciples peacemakers or messengers of peace. His disciples are to release the beauty of the Gospel, the news of peace between God and man.
Josh mentions "the great divide" in his song Flood Waters, saying that we will leave the chords of death behind us at the great devoid. I think the great divide is a line that devised death from life, darkness from light. We are to sail across the great divide, into death and darkness, taking the good news of the Gospel.
The Gospel is to be delivered with our voice, to break the silence and the power of the Devil that keeps others from the glory of Christ. Stories of redemption will be written for those who respond to our message.
Blood on the moon might be a reference to Christ's blood, or the persecution we may face. But morning will come soon when the believers are taken to be with God, away from the darkness of this world.
Chorus:
For the believers, it is time to "go unto all the world" and Jsus will be with us "even unto the ends of the earth." Every dream, or vision that God has delivered through his word, will be used to build us into a person of refuge. The message we take will be a home that shelters those in darkness.
He is using the metaphor of someone sent out into a frightening wilderness, on a mission, to remind us of how we have been sent out into the darkness of the world to spread the Gospel.
