For some reason (and I am not religiously inclined in the slightest) I perceive this as possibly being from the perspective of a deity, attempting to make contact with mankind and inform them of the extents of its power. There's an atmosphere of omniscience throughout the song, especially in his requests:
"Sometimes I need you naked,
sometimes I need you wild,
I need you to carry my children in
and I need you to kill a child."
However, it can be argued that Cohen intended the song to have this religious ambiguity, so deliberately sang in a way that endowed it with double entendre.
