"Cathedrals have tried in vain
To show the image of your face"
-Cathedrals- probably the most beautiful pieces of Christian architecture/art ever- cannot even come close to the majesty and awesome beauty of God! Isaiah 40:18-20 lay this out pretty clearly.
"But we are, by your design
The signature of divine"
-As His creation, we are made in His image(Genesis 1:27)
"The fortunes of kings and queens
Are wasted chasing what we've seen"
Everyone who isn't a follower of Jesus spends their entire lives chasing after things that seem valuable (money, fame, comfort, etc.). But nothing can compare to God's awesomeness (Psalm 145:3; Psalm 113:4-6)
"Cause we are, by your reprieve
The beauty framed by your suffering"
We are made beautiful by accepting the salvation available through Christ's suffering for our sins (John 4:16; Isaiah 1:18)
"Take me, and pull me through
Cause I can't move without you"
-We can do nothing without God's involvement in our lives (John 15:5)
"I won't leave you alone, you say
It will be okay"
-God will never leave or betray us (Deuteronomy 31:8; Joshua 1:9)
The chorus is simply praise to God for His involvement in our lives and how much higher His ways are than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9)
