U2 in the Divine Milieu...With or Without You Live from Slane Castle

“I remember the first time I was truly in awe of God. I was caught up for the first time in my life in something so massive and loving and transcendent and…true. Something I was sure could be trusted. I specifically remember thinking the universe was safe, in spite of all the horrible, tragic things in the world. I remember being overwhelmed with the word true. Underneath it all life is somehow …good…and I was sixteen and at a U2 concert. This was real. This mattered. Whatever it was, I wanted more.”
-Rob Bell, Velvet Elvis

With or Without-Lyrics

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side,
I wait for you.
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you

With or without you
With or without you.

Through the storm, we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I’m waiting for you

With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live with or without you.

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away.

My hands are tied, my body bruised
You got me with nothing to win
And nothing left to lose.

And you give yourself away

And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away.

With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you

With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you
With or without you.

We will shine like stars,
Shine like stars on a summer’s night,
We will shine like stars,
Everything will be alright,
One heart, one heart…

"Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever."
-Daniel 12:3 TNIV

"...then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life."
-Philippians 2:15-16 TNIV
