I hopped into our minivan the other day and U2’s How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb CD was in - yes I have a cool wife. I hadn’t listened to it in a while and it always amazes me how, over time, songs that you once over looked can speak to you with a life of their own. The last song on the CD was Yahweh. I can’t tell you exactly why, but it was moving me.

Take these shoes
Click clacking down some dead end street
Take these shoes
And make them fit
Take this shirt
Polyester white trash made in nowhere
Take this shirt
And make it clean, clean
Take this soul
Stranded in some skin and bones
Take this soul
And make it sing

Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, Yahweh
Still I’m waiting for the dawn

Take this city
A city should be shining on a hill
Take this city
If it be your will
What no man can own, no man can take
Take this heart
Take this heart
Take this heart
And make it break
