There is something within the human soul that longs to be known and to know. We all desire that someone really know the real us. In that knowing we long that we also know...we want to discover the other...we want to know truth...our God. It's a craving that is settled in process...rarely in a moment. That's what we love and hate about it. At ECHO we want to learn in process... in the celebrations as well as the frustrations. We want to discover in the pain and the blessings of existence. It's beautiful, mysterious, attractive, yet mind warping. I suppose that's why I love this song by U2. It speaks of the discovery...the process...the knowing...as we journey through this thing called life...as we get one step closer...I'm 'round the corner from anything that's real
I'm across the road from hope
I'm under a bridge in a rip tide
That's taken everything I call my own
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
I'm on an island at a busy intersection
I can't go forward, I can't turn back
Can't see the future
It's getting away from me
I just watch the tail lights glowing
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
Knowing, knowing
I'm hanging out to dry
With my old clothes
Finger still red with the prick of an old rose
Well the heart that hurts
Is a heart that beats
Can you hear the drummer slowing?
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
To knowing, to knowing, to knowing
lyrics by U2
be God's!
