After reading the lyrics and listening to this song i am convinced that it is definitely about God and the state of the world. The first verse i believe is about repenting and laying your sins down to God. He says lay down your love, your sinful emotions(jealosy), and treasure to Him, and it will break the Devils back. He continues on about praying for people and hoping that by the time they reach the end of their life they have lived long and happy and leave this temporary world with a new heart. Then i believe when Bono says I DONT KNOW IF I CAN MAKE IT, IM NOT EASY ON MY KNEES, he is saying that its a tough thing to do for live for Christ but its something hes willing to do. HERES MY HEART YOU CAN BREAK IT.
