It’s Good Friday and I have had these lyrics written by Bono in my head all week.  It just so happens that they sum up how I am feeling today about Christ’s sacrifice for us.  I also could picture the famous centurion singing these lines.

“MOMENT OF SURRENDER”   (My favorite lines are italicized)

Listen along here

I tied myself with wire
To let the horses run free
Playing with the fire
Until the fire played with me

The stone was semi precious
We were barely conscious
Two souls too smart to be
In the realm of certainty
Even on our wedding day

We set ourselves on fire
A girl could not deny her
Its not if I believe in love
If love believes in me
Oh believe in me

At the moment of surrender
I’m falling to my knees
I did not notice the passers by 
And they did not notice me

I’ve been in every black hole
At the alter of a Dark star
My body’s now begging
Though it’s begging to get back
Begging to get back 
To my heart
To the rhythm of my soul
To the rhythm of my consciousness
To the rhythm of yes
To be released from control

I was punching in the numbers at the ATM machine
I could see in the reflection 
A face staring back at me
At the moment of surrender
Of vision over visibility
I did not notice the passers by
And they did not notice me

I was speeding off the subway
Through the stations of the cross
Every eye looking every other way
Counting down till the pain will stop

At the moment of surrender
Of vision over visibility 
I did not notice the passers by
And they did not notice me
