MAGNIFICENT
“From the womb my first cry, it was a joyful noise”
“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” Psalm 139:13-14 NIV
“Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.” Psalm 98:4 KJV
“Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.” Psalm 100:1-2 KJV
Bono declaring that even his very first cry was worship — formed in secret, born to magnify. Echoing the psalmist’s awe at being knit together and the command to fill the earth with “a joyful noise.”
