The Magnificent


~Magnificent~

"Magnificent
I was born
I was born to be with you
In this space and time

After that and ever after
I haven’t had a clue

Only to break rhyme
This foolishness can leave a heart black and blue

Only love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love can heal such a scar

I was born
I was born to sing for you
I didn’t have a choice but to lift you up
And sing whatever song you wanted me to

I give you back my voice

From the womb my first cry, it was a joyful noise…

Only love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love can heal such a scar

Justified till we die, you and I will magnify

The Magnificent
Magnificent

Only love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love unites our hearts

Justified till we die, you and I will magnify

The Magnificent
Magnificent
Magnificent"

I have a confession to make.........

I'm a U2 fan.

Maybe that surprises you but since it's
"All Things Irish"
month on "The Secret Gardener"....
So I thought I would show case one of their new songs.

They are Irish you know.....and they support many valid organizations .....like the "Product (RED)"campaign, the "ONE" campaign, and many other "compassionate" world causes.I am not in agreement with everything they DO regarding their personal lifestyles and their private choices, etc..

However, I do like alot of their music.
In fact I'm loving this new song by them....

Have you ever looked at the words and lyrics from many of their songs?
Bono has written and performed many songs that exalt "The Magnificent" one.....

I have heard first hand from people that I knew in Ireland that Bono and the others do indeed have a real hunger for "Spiritual things." You can read this and hear this in a lot of their work, past and present.

These boys from Dublin are activists for many issues of social injustice so that comes across strongly in their music too.

They seem to really have a genuine love and concern for Africa too, and
I like that.


Check out this song "Magnificant" from their new album "Get On Your Boots."

It reads and sounds like a song of "Worship" to me.
See what you think.
