I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
U2 is one of the greatest, most unchanging bands. They are an Irish Catholic band who sometimes hints at spiritual matters rarely, and it is not the basis of their songs. This song is directly and absolutely spiritual.
It is honesty in a matter of uncertainty, and I know many people can relate to this. In the beginning he sings about searching for a girl, but that is not what he is looking for. He talks about flirting with the angels and demons, but he was cold as stone. He still cannot find what he is looking for. Then it gets spiritually questioned.
He sings about believing in life after death and Jesus dying on the cross. He knows and believes all this but he has not found what he is looking for. Many people struggle with their faith. The not knowing what is true or not can be a hard matter to deal with; you have to rely and trust your faith because there is no proof.
I feel this song was written in the stage between U2’s head and heart. You can know and believe God with your head, but that won’t get you anywhere. You have to trust and accept God with your heart. U2 is looking for a deeper purpose than knowing God; he wants to put his faith and trust into Him.
Romans 10:9-That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
