Gospel song for the restless soul...

thats how bono describes it....

This song has given me alot of comfort over the years and plenty to think about. Many people see it as a negative song about not having the answer. Rather I think it is a brave song admitting that we have never arrived as christians and that we are always running, walking or crawling our way along the walk....plus the last verse is one of the clearest explainations of faith in song...

"I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"
I have climbed the highest mountain
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you

I have run, I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire
I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I believe in the kingdom come
Then all the colors will bleed into oneBleed into one
Well, yes, I'm still running
You broke the bonds and youLoosed the chains
Carried the cross
And my shame
All my shame
You know I believe it

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

They are great lyrics, arent they. And yes, I had a God encounter at age 5, but ever since have wrestled with my faith. I can reall relate to those lyrics.
