It's very clear what this song means, it isn't a romantic love song, it isn't a religious song and it isn't about a list and found love. It's actually a lot sweeter than all that.
Allow me to explain...
The song changes as it goes. At first it sounds like a love song, then it sounds like a religious song and then it sounds like a relationship between a parent.
If anything, that last one is the closest to the meaning. It's the relationship between a mother and a child. Yes it's probably different to every listner but there is no doubt in my mind that this is what it is about.
A mother guiding their child through life and then right at the end of it all when the mother passes, the child (now an adult) has now acknowledged all of this and is thanking the mother for everything.
