I think the chorus could mean something about how all religions have borrowed things from eachother (like how pagan holidays were incorporated into christianity..), "you give me yours I give you mine". but there are christians who refuse to take this into account if they make blanket statements by saying theirs is the one true religion, and they refuse to look her God right in the eye, refuse to accept that their religion is borrowed from others.
the whole 'you say "i ordered you a pancake"', to me, means that someone else (say, family or upbringing) has "ordered" a specific faith for her, prescribed it, one which she doesnt accept as her own. pancake referring to communion - someone ordered her to partake in that sacrament.
one of my favorite songs, for sure. Like all of her music, its so rich in meaning, especially if you have dealt with a deep conflicting internal religious conflict or existential crises, etc... And the music itself is so beautiful. Its such an experience to learn what she is saying in her songs.
