It's starting to speak to me now! The new U2 Album is what I'm referring to. Here's the first song to speak to me. It's called
"One Step Closer"
I'm 'round the corner from anything that's real
I'm across the road from hope
I'm under a bridge in a rip tide
That's taken everything I call my own
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
I'm on an island at a busy intersection
I can't go forward, I can't turn back
Can't see the future
It's getting away from me
I just watch the tail lights glowing
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
Knowing, knowing
I'm hanging out to dry
With my old clothes
Finger still red with the prick of an old rose
Well the heart that hurts
Is a heart that beats
Can you hear the drummer slowing?
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
To knowing, to knowing, to knowing
Can you believe this stuff? "A heart that hurts is a heart that beats." I'm hurting, so must be alive. It's good to be alive--that much I'm closer to knowing. The song reminds me that Jesus works in our broken hearts, teaches us more about Himself. I'm still waiting for resurrection from this gloom, but at least I'm one step closer.

"Do you know how to dismantle an atomic bomb?" Bono reportedly asked Michael W. Smith earlier this year. "With love," Bono said. "With love."
