I think that this song is about how much of a struggle it can be to keep one's faith in God in this world. God loves our efforts to do so and is there to help us when it becomes hard.

stanza 1: God loves it when the person is able to identify what is wrong and be disheartened by it. He loves it when the person prays these wrongs will be made right. On the other hand, He also loves it when the person lives as though the outcome of things depends on him/her.

Chorus: The person has once again been left broken. The only thing that will fix him/her is letting God take over and not trying to fix everything by him/herself. God loves the person and wants him/her to see the truth and follow Him again.

stanza 2: God loves that the person seeks His truth rather than what the world tells the person. He loves that the person stands strong and takes the things that others say while believing in God in the end (as hard as it may be).

stanza 3: It is not important that others do not understand the person. (S)he can find peace in knowing that God does understand.

I think the line "right where I want you to be again" is saying that God recognizes that keeping faith in Him can be a struggle, but He loves that the person keeps coming back to Him.
