Musically, there are better tracks on this album. But lyrically, I think it’s the best. “Yahweh” feels less like song lyrics and more like an earnest prayer to Yahweh Himself. Not the polished, polite kind of prayer. The raw, honest kind. A faith that I can relate to. While this song didn’t get the acclaim that many other songs on this album got, I think it was an appropriate last track. I wonder if Bono was telling us this is how you dismantle an atomic bomb.
“Take these hands. Teach them what to carry. Take these hands. Don't make a fist. Take this mouth. So quick to criticize. Take this mouth. Give it a kiss.”
