One last thing. I'm looking at this song from the perspective that the women is involved in some sort of an afair, wheather it be one or many. apocarteresis mentions above the meaning of the word paramore. I think thats an esential word to the meaning of the song.
"You're God's great paramour" meaning that whoever Sufjan is speaking about is God's lover. "Paramour" is defined as "a lover, especially illicit". While the illicit meaning isn't concrete, the illicitness of the word could STILL signify Jesus because Jesus's relationship with God was looked down upon by the Pharisees. They thought him to be a blasphemer of God.
