Window in the Skies Lyrics Meaning

This song is about the life changing experience that happens when a person becomes a Christian. The Bible says that God Is Love. So when Bono sings, "Oh can't you see what Love has done, what it's doin' to me?" He's really saying, "God has changed me, just take a look!"

The title "Window in the Skies" represents our passageway to Heaven. "Love has left a window in the sky..." is about Christ's death and resurrection and how this has made it possible for each one of us to follow Him into Heaven. He also says, "all debts are removed" which is what happened when Christ took the sins of the world upon himself.
