This seems to be another limp-wristed, irrational song saying "Sure, things are hard now, but God is surely looking out for me, and I'll be OK in the end, even if it's when I die." with the implied corrolary, "Because you know, lots of people I know will be burning in hell, but I'm saved."
Lines that lead me to believe this are:
When my soul is weak, where does my help come from?
And:
A reason to believe I will see redemption.
Not too many people talk about "souls" and "redemption" without referring--even if obliquely--to spiritual nonsense.
