I completely disagree with the above poster. This isn't being sarcastic. This is being honest. All of us have doubted faith at one point in life. In the first stanza, he has lost everything. Without a home you have nothing. The only thing that could save him at this point is Divine Intervention.
Second Stanza is more of the same. One day everything is good, and then it all falls apart. What kind of God would let this happen?
Third verse is even worse. Now serious doubt has taken place. You can imagine a child asking a question like "If God really exists, why does he let people die?". Same concept here. If there is a God why does bad things happen...
But then the final verse....Finally we remember our faith and our love in God. He is there and the sun is shining again in our lives. Yes there is destruction. Yes there are problems. But God shines his love and light on us still!
Its very uplifting! And I think its important to note that this God doesn't necessarily have to be Yahweh. Maybe this God is Vishnu. Maybe Allah. Maybe Jesus......Its not important what God it is......just have faith!
