Wow this song is really powerful. It helps to think of it in two separate parts, or chapters. The first part is the singer asking and describing the devastation around him. He is asking God how He can allow the destruction and evil to exist. Why God doesn't punish the sinners for what they are doing and why God is not serving justice.
"Set fame to derail whats innocent.
Why spare the life of inglorious waste? Why let him live?
He's just hunting your own! How can you just sit there and watch? "
The second part begins with the lines....
"Because I love you more than you know.
Look again and tell me what you see!"
In the window was me. The massacres were all me!
The second part is when the singer has the realization that the sinners were really himself. He realizes he was part of all the evil and destruction in the world. But God keeps telling him that He will forgive the singer just as He offers forgiveness to the rest of the world.
