I wasn't really sure what this song meant until the other day I was having a pretty rough time and listened to it in the car. It kind of just all came together. This is how i interpret this song, right or wrong, it makes sense to me.
"And today I will trust you with the confidence
Of a man who's never known defeat
But tomorrow, upon hearing what I did
I will stare at you in disbelief
Oh, inconsistent me
Crying out for consistency"
^ Turning his life completely over to God, leaving what temporary behind for the eternal. I think those who have experienced this would agree that after you try to turn everything over to God, you start to think, "I did what?! but that's all I have!" Humans are inconsistent. One moment we'll be all out for God, and the next moment doubts and troubles arise and we long for that trust and peace we once felt when we seemed humble and close to the Lord.
And you said I know that this will hurt
But if I don't break your heart then things will get worse
If the burden seems too much to bear
Remember
The end will justify the pain it took to get us there
More often then not, it seems God has to break our heart before he takes us where he wants us to be. Our hearts are filled with worldy things, and God sometimes has to break our heart so we realize what is really important. We get on the wrong track and the wrong things become important to us, and sometimes if God doesn't break our heart, things will just get worse. I think the last 2 lines of this verse are self explanatory:
Remember
