Seems to be Andy wrestling with the disconnect between Christians and Christ, people claiming to follow but not actually following in action. True vs false disciples
"we built a shelter
While we turned the weak away"
Injustice, leaving people who are hurting and weak outside of the body of Christ despite the Christian's call to love his neighbor
Chorus seems to be directly wrestling with God
"I hardly knew you
You knew me the same"
Seems to be a reference to Matthew 7:23, where Jesus distinguishes between true believers and false believers.
7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
