I am writing here for the first time, but feel that I may have a likely interpretation of this wonderful song.
Perspective - meaning - Subjective Evaluation of Relative Significance; a point of view.
The song is about changing your point of reference. As a non-Christian, you may view the world as a hopeless place. "It feels like your life's crashing down all around you." The writer is asking the non-Christians to ask themselves if they really believe that there could be someone who cares and understands.
The writer, knowing of the power of Jesus Christ, then explains that true "freedom" comes from within by the power of Christ. The changing of the "lens" is the changing of your heart that takes place when accepting Christ. (And I can attest to the changing of my life and views after accepting Christ as my Savior).
The next verse is a beautiful physical illustration of the "point of view". Not only are they looking through different colors of the stained glass, but the description of what they are looking at changes. "Jacket" or "Coat", "Red" or "White". If the child had only moved "a few degrees", he may have seen the "Jackets in White" (which is the true color). A shifting of your heart (perspective) will lead you to see the truth.
I would urge people to move towards what God has planned for their life. Change your perspective. See through God's eyes. It will show you a life that does not end with death, but an eternal life that is filled with amazing joy. Help others to change their perspective by showing them a different angle. Show them your perspective and allow them to view things through the eyes of a Great Creator.
@psteeves71 That was so beautifully explained! Thank you! I know i'm a little late to the Kutless party XD, but this song really speaks to me and you nailed the meaning so well that i couldn't help but to thank you.
