As I mentioned last week, I’ve been reading “We Get to Carry Each Other – The Gospel According to U2.” A great read from Greg Garrett (who also wrote “Stories from the Edge – A Theology of Grief).
As a closing section in the book, Greg shares 10 spiritual lessons we can learn from U2.
I thought I’d share an additional 10 that I’ve learned along my journey as well. So here they are, in no particular order…

“Stand Up Comedy” – U2
Love love love love love
Love love love love love
I got to stand up and take a step
You and I have been asleep for hours
I got to stand up
The wire is stretched
In between our two towers
Stand up in this dizzy world
Where a lovesick eye can steal the view
I’m gonna fall down if I can’t stand up
For your love
Love love love love love
Stand up, this is comedy
The DNA lotto may have left you smart
But can you stand up to beauty
Dictator of the heart
I can stand up for hope, faith, love
But while I’m getting over certainty
Stop helping God across the road like a little old lady
Oh, oh
Out from under your beds
C’mon, ye people
Stand up for your love
Love love love love love
Love love love love love
I gotta stand up to ego but my ego’s not really the enemy
It’s like a small child crossing an eight lane highway
On a voyage of discovery
Stand up to rock stars
Napolean is in high heels
Josephine, be careful
Of small men with big ideas
Oh, oh
Out from under your beds
C’mon, ye people
Stand up for your love
Love love love love love
Love love love love love
God is love
And love is evolution’s very best day
Soul rockin’ people moving on
Soul rockin’ people on and on
C’mon, ye people
We’re made of stars
C’mon, ye people
Stand up then sit down for your love
Love love love love love
Love love love love love
Love love love love love
Love love love love love
