I'd say its definitely not sarcasm. I think this song is primarily pointing to the fact that reality (all of God's creation) is at its core not subject to concepts or judgments. The terrible things are inseparable from the wonderful things and are really only "terrible" or "wonderful" as much as we attach those ideas to them.

I would paraphrase the chorus as "The world is as it is, God never bothered to name a thing, and the truth cannot be spoken but only experienced for yourself"

Very Zen.
