Bono is is famous for slightly morphing lyrics from song to song, for using the same/similar lyrics in more than one song, and early version to final recorded song. So whether "Yahweh" is the exact song he wrote for her is up for grabs, but what seems likely is he gifted her with an early version of it. I do know one woman who will know.
