"[God] gives us our strength and a joy that does not depend on drink or drugs. this strength will, I believe, be the quality that will take us to the top of the music business. I hope our lives will be a testament to the people who follow us, and to the music business where never before have so many lost and sorrowful people gathered in one place pretending they're having a good time. I is our ambition to make more than good music"
Quoted from "Walk on: The Spiritual Journey of U2" by Steve Stockman

Lyrics from my favourite U2 track - 40. Words by King David from the Psalm with the same number. This track is on the 1983 album War. Am I showing my age??
One, two, three, four
I waited patiently for the Lord
He inclined and heard my cry
He brought me up out of the pit
Out of the miry clay
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
How long to sing this song?
How long to sing this song?
How long, how long
How long, how long to sing this song?
He set my feet upon a rock
And made my footsteps firm
Many will see
Many will see and fear
Doesn't get much better than that!
About half way through this book, loving it! It seems War is the album to get.
Yeah mate War is supurb but so are The Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby. How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb ain't half bad either! But for the best gospel lyrics and meaning it has to be October.
