Bono of U2 was one of the presenters on the second day of the Willow Creek Leadership Summit I attended last week at Eagle Brook Church. I suspect that many churches will be hearing quite a bit about this in the coming weeks and months. I also expect that U2 will get a little bump in album sales this week from Bono's appearance. Bono and Bill Hybels extended a challenge to churches across America to join into the battle against AIDS and it's susequent problems that are wreaking havoc on the African continent, particuarly in sub-Saharan Africa. One of the songs used during the Bono interivew was from U2's 1983 album "War. It is a powerful song when you hear Bono's voice behind it.
"40"
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
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
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
