Song Meaning of “God’s Dark Heaven” by Those Poor Bastards
“God’s Dark Heaven” is about faith and the struggles of living, and the contradictions between religious beliefs and real life. The narrator speaks of the brokenness of the world and how vulnerable people are in such a place. He talks of how faith in God’s love gives hope in a dark world and of how the love of God can bring peace and redemption. He longs for the grace of God’s saving power and to be protected in His arms. He cries out for the power of the Almighty to make all things new and to be deeply rooted in a spiritual home. The song recognizes the darkness of existence and the need to hold onto faith, because only God can bring light into the darkness. It’s an aching call for the strength and courage to keep fighting even in our fragile world.
