I don't know if this is right but I heard it was about god and Jesus.
"you have always been a thorn in their side, but to me you're a shining light "
shows how the whole Jesus aspect is annoying to some people but he thinks he's 'a shining light'
"a constellation once seen, over royal david's city
an epiphany you burn so pretty
yeah, you are a shining light "
is about the star at Jesus' birth and the epiphany.
"my mortal blood i would sacrifice, for you are a shining light" is about how he would be a marytr if he had to.
"I've seen you draped in a electric veil
shrouded in celestial light " apparently is his halo and holy glow kinda thing.
I can't remember where I heard it but that is upposedly what it's about.
