This song starts off by listing examples of those who have strayed from faith, showing how the narrator feels these are his new companions after his own straying from faith.
In the first paranthesized section, I think its almost like the thought of God is pressing increasingly more heavily upon him, almost sufficating him with the thought of his misguidance. He had talked about himself so highly that he set up a stage to fall down from. The narrator states that well meaning actions dont make for good actions. The last paranthesized part is the narrator finally coming to repentance and realizing that all people mess up, yet not outside of the bounds of God's forgiveness.
The sun and the moon lines are connected. He wants to see his Father's eyes, as one. He wants to feel in his heart and in his faith the closest connection with God.
