Many of Imago's songs have strong Christian lyrics once you unravel them. In many song like this one, the singer communicates from God's point of view. He is comforting a troubled soul, telling the distressed person that whatever struggle he or she is going through, it's part of a process that will eventually make him or her a better person. The second verse seems more like a conversation with the first two stanzas from the discouraged soul and the last two from God. :)
