"Yahweh" is a song by U2 that speaks about a Christian's desire for [[God]] to make him a person of purpose, peace, gentleness, purity and love. The word [[Yahweh]] is an English transliteration of the [[ancient Hebrew]] name for God.
The song is the eleventh and final track from U2's album [[How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb]].

<pre>
Take these shoes
Click clacking down some dead end street
Take these shoes
And make them fit
Take this shirt
Polyester white trash made in nowhere
Take this shirt
And make it clean, clean
Take this soul
Stranded in some skin and bones
Take this soul
And make it sing
Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, Yahweh
Still I'm waiting for the dawn
Take these hands
Teach them what to carry
Take these hands
Don't make a fist no
Take this mouth
So quick to criticise
Take this mouth
Give it a kiss
Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, Yahweh
Still I'm waiting for the dawn
Still waiting for the dawn, the sun is coming up
The sun is coming up on the ocean
His love is like a drop in the ocean
His love is like a drop in the ocean
Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, tell me now
Why the dark before the dawn?
Take this city
A city should be shining on a hill
Take this city
If it be your will
What no man can own, no man can take
Take this heart
Take this heart
Take this heart
And make it pray

: ''Yahweh is a desperate prayer for salvation. Maybe not the way we are taught to pray in church, but a prayer none the less.''
