Actually, the "rejoice" doesn't really associate them with Christianity nearly as much as the lyrics (from "Tomorrow" on the same album) "open up to the lamb of God/To the love of he who made the blind to see /He's coming back, he's coming back/I'm gonna be there Jesus coming." Can't really get much more straightforward than that. And, U2 were actually labelled Christian rock early on, but sort of grew out of it with Joshua Tree. There were several Christian acts on Island at the time.
REJOICE!! I Love this song! U2 is awesome! From their early album called "October". They are Christians, but were never labeled Christian Rock, but better that way, they have reached more people, and you can hear the message in their songs for the people that want to hear it.
@pukashell4u Just because the song has the word rejoice in it doesnt mean that it is a Christian song. The definition of rejoice is to feel joy. Dont think the Christians have a monopoly on feeling joy... Try agin Jesus Freak...
Haven't heard this for ages, it makes me remember, in this single track download world, that albums give bands a lot of freedom to experiment. This was recorded at a sad time for Ireland and the World and of massive uncertainty. That U2 chose to go against the grain and express simple hope was pretty amazing, given their youth.
Not sure this is what you are asking about, but "Atmosphere" is a wonderful song by Joy Division, one of U2's earliest influences. It's similar to this song.
When I hear this this song... my thoughts run to the emerald isle.......Yes Eire.... I'm from Italy but my dream is one day move to Ireland....... and watch the endless green of Hibernia!!!!!!!!!!!
beautiful pictures!

Rejoice in God's love, look around you what do you see?
Eyes wide open but still will not see!
The evil conquer themselfs, New World Order, they can have this place.

We played this at my wedding in 1991.
The marriage didn't last. But the idea behind this song remains in my heart.
