What prayers does Bono say in the Boston Elevation DVD and in the Superbowl before Streets?

He quotes Psalm 116 from The Message which is the bible translation done by Eugene Peterson.

This is the text:

What can I give back to God
for the blessings he's poured out on me?
I'll lift high the cup of salvation—a toast to God!
I'll pray in the name of God;
I'll complete what I promised God I'd do,
and I'll do it together with his people.

This is the text:

What can I give back to God
for the blessings he's poured out on me?
I'll lift high the cup of salvation—a toast to God!
I'll pray in the name of God;
I'll complete what I promised God I'd do,
and I'll do it together with his people.

He used this part at Notre Dame, too:

What can I give back to God
for the blessings he's poured out on me?

Then "For the blessings . . . for the blessings . . . ." then he took off, running around the heart! Good times . . . .

 

[Jamila]

What would be even more beautiful is if everybody LIVED those words.

Bono quoted something different at the Super Bowl. I think he said, "Oh Lord, open my lips; let my mouth show forth Thy praise."

Now that's something you don't hear at halftime very often!

This is the text:

What can I give back to God
for the blessings he's poured out on me?
I'll lift high the cup of salvation—a toast to God!
I'll pray in the name of God;
I'll complete what I promised God I'd do,
and I'll do it together with his people.

Wow.. this is beautiful.

This is the text:

What can I give back to God
for the blessings he's poured out on me?
I'll lift high the cup of salvation—a toast to God!
I'll pray in the name of God;
I'll complete what I promised God I'd do,
and I'll do it together with his people.

I agree, this verse is beautiful. I also have a copy of "The Message" by Eugene Peterson..

This video kinda helps to show what he is saying right before "Streets" (around the 5:44 mark):

YouTube - PT. 1 Bono - Hybels

The whole interview is pretty good; Bono talks a lot about his faith. The actual interview starts in Part 2.

I remember watching that interview before. It is a good one.

By the way, does anyone have a download of Part 6 of this interview? (AVI format)

This is the piece:

I have the rest of the interview except for this part, the file doesn't work.

Thanks

Now that's something you don't hear at halftime very often!

He's also been heard saying: "Oh Lord, open my lips So I might show forth thy praise. Oh Lord, open my lips."
