"God's Not Done With You" is a song for the person who feels disqualified by their past guilt and shame to say that God has the ability, He's actually a master architect, and He specializes in building on what remains in your life. If all you have is ruins, then ruins will be what He uses to recreate the great design that He has for your life.
