I doubt the song has anything to do with God really. Now no, I'm not an atheist coming on here to prove TCC isnt a Christian band. Most of their songs are about God whether morons like it or not. But regardless, I think this song is about looking back on how much he has accomplished and wishing he had done more in his life to help people. like in: "I stood on a hill that I wished was a mountain to look back on all my accomplishments." Looking at what he did good he realizes it was just a little hill. But he wished it was a mountain of accomplishments. "Well they must have been small, cause I couldnt seem to find them so I took a leap out of the precipice" Precipice means a cliff or steep drop. So, when he realized he could do more he leaped down to rebuild his accomplishments. The "Saddest song" thing you are questioning is (in my mind) him being depressed at where he is at because he knows he could be better.
