i had to choose a religious song for a school assignment and i did this one. it appears to be referring to something bad that has happened to someone bono loved - the last verse talks pretty explicitly about that - he wonders if christ "thought to warn her" and wants the 'tape to be rewound'.
Jesus is sposed to be helping, but where is he? bonos pleading with him to "wake up" and help him out. i think every religious person starts to doubt their beliefs at times - and bono is experiencing this at the time of writing this song i think.

@atthedrive-in Perhaps he's calling for the 'second coming'?
