I think this song is meant to be a plea to God. When something like Katrina happens (and yes I'm aware that this song was made before) we look to God and ask why. Why would a "good Christian God" (or any God) allow such bad things to happen? One answer is that it makes us realize that our lives are fragile and we don't have a right to them, something we all often forget. So, disasters happen and people die, and we grow a little closer to God again before we run back to what we are doing and forget. I think this song is about that conviction God gives us and the realization and thankfulness these disasters bring. Don't stop God. Don't stop teaching us, and reminding us of what's really important.
