I think it's closer to what Jemmargh said. I think it's about a person who wants to change the world so bad. They every prayer, they donate time, money and effort to the hopeless. And they do for a while but then they start to think that it's all about them. And they lose sight of God's hand in all of it. The person forgets that it's about God changing the world, not them. And then when things start to fall apart that's when they fall to their knees and are like "God it's yours I'm just your servant. Do YOUR will through me."
I love how loving the song portrays God. Especially in this stanza:
I love the way that your heart breaks
With every injustice and deadly fates
Praying it all will be new
And living like it all depends on you
It's like God just saying, "I love that you want to change the world. It makes me so happy. But son/daughter you need my help. You can't do this on your own." It's just amazing
