This song is quite excellent and I enjoy the daylights out of it. But... I have to say something that I have prayed about and thus far have been unanswered. A personal conflict falling on deaf ears.
It can be seen in this songs as well as virtually every Christian song out there. Simplicity. I do not wish to attack or be attacked in this belief that I hold. I simply find that Christian songs these days, and sermons, Bible studies and the likes, preach only a basic understanding of anything spiritual. They seem to be catering to what people want to hear and not a truth.
I am at a crisis of faith here because I see what everyone tells me about the nature of God and I am bored. I am dying here, drowning in doubt because it appears to simple. I can see my entire spiritual being and lifespan laid out and there is no challenge. This song and the church in general is to optimistic.
Maybe these rantings are naive, but I wish I would be told so. I feel lost like the kid who stands in the classroom watching the needless recitation of a pledge he cannot justify. Perhaps I have a calling I have not fullfilled. Is there someone I can talk to?
I know this was posted back in 05' but if your still facing these problems try just reading the Bible a bit you may find an answer there since the Bible is The Word of God we may not hear God speak to us but we can read it, and another thing is talk to your pastor about this, i don't think your naive just a little lost, a lamb who need to find it's Shepard, God Loves you, but one thing is that no one but God can see the future, you may know what may happen but you...

@DxCxKuhl I am creating a podcast about this song, and as I read your post, I was saddened. You seem to be searching.. and this was 17 years ago. I hope you have found what you are looking for. I think I understand... I would recommend the book "Beautiful Outlaw" by John Eldredge, the first chapter is entitled "The Playfulness of God and the poison of religion" You may find a collection of podcasts on worship songs on my podcast entitled "In Search of My Heart" https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-search-of-my-heart/id1530254748
