"and she said that she wanted to stay
but she cannot it's time to leave
and she said that she wanted to wait
in heaven, where she will be happy.
"My dear God why have you forsaken me?"
Cause I've cried out to you so loud and i have been praying...
nd where is that unfaling; amazing grace to see
and where is that sweet sound you took from me?""
I think that's saying that she didn't want to die, but she couldn't help it, and Nathaniel is asking somebody (God?) why his prayers weren't answered. He believed in him, and he failed him?

And I'm guessing the sweet sound is her voice.
