I thought perhaps this song was about a recent convert to Christianity. He/She is letting go of all the chains that bound them to their previous life without Jesus, and the other person, perhaps a nonbelieving very close friend or family member, is the last chain to that past life. The new Christian, seeing the love of Jesus and the atrocities of hell, says desperately, "Let me take you when I go," to the other side, Heaven/the Christian life. Just one interpretation.
