I don't know enough about religion to interpret this properly, but when she begins to sing the last verse, I always tear up.
I imagine that if there were a god, the knowledge that there was someone watching over you from on high would evoke the same feeling of safety and reassurance that you get hearing someone say to you, "You are not alone, baby - in your darkness, you are not alone." Intentional or not, it's a lovely effect of the song.
