In a very personal level, I think this song is about God. In several ocassions I think they make reference to a person who could only be God.
"You say you want everyone happy
Well, we're not laughing"
and
"And how come you don't understand me?
And how come I don't understand you?
THIRTY years say we're in this together
So open your eyes."
Beautiful song btw. I just like how they explain the doubts about God, very similar IMO to "Blind Faith".
It seems to me to be similar to that, especially that part. But it seems not to just be about his doubts about God but rather a narrative about his journeys through faith.

He's clearly in an abusive relationship of sorts that views his intangible faith as a hindrance to every day life. And he doesn't know how to stick up for himself exactly.
The chorus states his return to faith ("blood healed me", obviously referring to the nurturing nature of and repentance achieved through communion) and its healing process in his life.
And like you said, that section about is clearly about him questioning why he placed his faith originally and also questioning why he abandoned it at the same time.
And though he knows deep down inside that forgiveness is something that will always come he can't help but be worried by the future. However during the final verse he clearly does come to grips with this uncertainty ("I'm inspired and content") as he knows faith is a journey with an uncertain route.
