Yes... He is an amazing writer, and the chorus of this song is what grabs me every time as well. It's amazing! But I think the song is about his losing understanding of life and falling into deep holes (metaphorically speaking)... While he's lost in the sea of change, God is the only branch within his reach to pull him back to shore (understanding). This song is all about the metaphor that life is a sea, and currents will come along. But God will always be the branch to pull us back into place when the current causes us to "disappear... with no control."
