I think this song is written from the perspective of someone who has a terminal illness and they're speaking to someone who they had a rocky relationship with earlier in their life. I get the feeling it's a close family member that they had a falling out with and have become estranged from. The narrator is going to die soon and they just want that person to have peace when they die and not to feel sad and have regrets.
I think the lines
Who do you call to ease your pain
I hope for you to get through this rain
The narrator knows that person loves them and he/she hopes they have a good support system to help them through their dying.
The line "My newfound faith and my broken heart" kills me. I think it's because many people become more spiritual and religious as they get near the end of their lives (hence newfound faith) but they are broken-hearted to be leaving their loved ones.

@Surlyglamrock exactly! I fell like I almost would have interpreted this song in the same way! A heart felt lyric, with deep meaning
