The good thing about ambiguous songs {especially Christian ones} that don't necessarily mention a who or what is that the listener can think about their earthly relationships AND the relationship God wants us to have with Him. God loves us just as we would love a husband or wife. Love songs like this can open a person’s mind to just how much God loves us but also be sung as a love song for your bf/gf.

I think the first verse is regarding 9-11. "If every building falls..." Remember the smoke and dust being so "grey" and when it all "cleared". Plus, so many people got the call that love one's were dead. The second verse could be about Katrina. "Down on Lake Michigan" Michigan Street in New Orleans dead ends into Lake Ponchatrain were the flooding was so bad. Just my idea since the first time I heard this song. Love it!
