I don't know if anyone has actually touched on this yet, and I thought I could actually help you guys out on at least part of it. In Manchester Orchestra's DVD, Andy Hull talks about this song.
From what I remember, since I can't remember everything that he said, at the end of the song when he's saying "God, where have you been?" He is talking about the question of people asking where God has been. It's basically that simple, haha.
He talks about at that part where people always are expecting God to show up, where in turn in this song, he also takes the view of God asking us, where we have been.
It's all in the DVD I swear to you, so if you really want the answers to the meanings of this song check it out. It's the "Let My Pride Be What's Left Behind" CD. And the DVD is titled "What's Left Behind".

The whole Gods perspective thing totally works with the "I've got to take what I'm makin' And turn it into somethin' for you" part.
