Bono, the Edge, the band U2. A surprising number of their songs have Christian themes. So many of their songs are spiritual that some churches have done communion services using the music of U2 and the words of Bono. One of U2's songs is named "40" and is a version of Psalm 40 put to music. In another song titled, "Yahweh" the lyrics go,
Take these hands
Teach them what to carry
Take these hands
Don't make a fist no
Take this mouth
So quick to critisize
Take this mouth
Give it a kiss
Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, Yahweh
Still I'm waiting for the dawn
People who never set foot in a church sing U2 songs that are overflowing with Christian meaning. This week pray about how we can reach out to people of all different stripes. People you never expect to think about God are praying for guidance into a church. Maybe ours the one on which they wait.
