I think this is about a close friend or a family member passing away (possibly in pain). The message I read in this song is that even though it hurts to lose someone, if they are a Christian, we know they are in a better place. When they sing about looking past the circumstances, I think they are referring to the verse in the Bible that says God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, so even though there may be no evidence of a plan, that doesn't mean there isn't one.
