I think this song is about a depression caused by a miscarriage ("I can't believe what God has done" implies she's not responsible for the baby's death, it was taken away from her). The lines about seeing her daughter "drowning" and keeping her "in a jar" make me think of amniotic fluid and blood (when someone suffers a miscarriage, the first simptom is bleeding) and the jar thing brings to my mind the classic image of a fetus kept in a formol bottle, to preserve it for scientific or medical research or biology teaching, something of the sorts.
It's a really sad song, needless to say.
