It hit me a few years back.
It's no secret that Bono writes lyrics that deal with spirituality, but I think it's to a much greater extent than many people realize.
If you substitute the word "God" for the word "Love" in virtually any U2 song, the spiritual meaning becomes clear and is, for the most part, always very biblically sound.
It's my theory that Bono was struck by 1 John 4:16 "...God is love..." a long time ago and decided to refer to Christ as "love" in his songwriting.
IMO, it's his way of evangelizing without being preachy.
Pick any song - Try it - it's pretty interesting.
(I'm sure I'm not the first to notice this)
