It's more, I think, he is asking Jesus rather than God to save him...possibly closer to relate to, as he was once human, taking humankind's side against a more impersonal higher power, he wants another intervention...a reference to the whole Easter thing, I expect, Jesus coming back to life after dying on the cross. Asking to rewind--wanting that miracle again, Jesus saving everyone, or maybe he's 'working on something new.' A need for a BIG change, I think. The whole world is messed up, it's not a simple individual need, a cry for help.
I adore this song.
