David is expressing his eternal love and encouragement to his wife Angela who was lost in all her anxiety and depression.

What idiotic "interpretations"!! Nazis? Not a Christian are you? This song is about someone lost in faith and being encouraged to come back and not be lost.

The song ends with "wish upon wish upon day on oh lord I believe all the way.
