I consider myself an agnostic and I usually don't enjoy religious lyrics very much, but I still love this song, probably because of the way it is written. Though it is mostly composed of biblical references, it can still be interpreted - at least to me - very universally. Everyone needs a place to rest their heads and it doesn't matter whether it means being surrounded by people you love, by your friends, or whether it is something abstract as faith itself - not faith in something in particular, simply faith in something important to you, which makes you feel secure.
To me, this song serves as an inspiration to be a better man - to be someone, who is able to take someone elses burden for a while, so maybe someday, when I'm in trouble, someone will be there to help me with my own burdens.
I personally believe, that if there's a God, it's not some entity hidden somewhere above. It's something that all of us are part of - every single living soul, we share a part of this connection that binds us together. Let's just be here for each other. For if we do this, none of us would ever be alone, no matter what they believe in. That's how I like to think about it and that's message to me.
In the end - this song really helps me to find rest for my soul anytime I listen to it...
