Now Playing: BarlowGirl

I just got this CD recently and it's my new fave.
Official BarlowGirl website
Their musical/vocal styles remind me, at different times, of various other artists & groups: Ginny Owens, Sarah McLachlan, Alanis Morissette, The Cranberries...
(When I first heard of BarlowGirl I kept thinking that they were called "Barstow Girl" which I thought was funny because I never thought of Barstow, CA as the kind of place people would advertise.)

The song that hit something in me from the first time I heard it:

"I Need You To Love Me"

Why, why are You still here with me
Didn't You see what I've done?
In my shame I want to run and hide myself
But it's here I see the truth
I don't deserve You

[Chorus:]
But I need You to love me, and I
I won't keep my heart from You this time
And I'll stop this pretending that I can
Somehow deserve what I already have
I need You to love me

I, I have wasted so much time
Pushing You away from me
I just never saw how You could cherish me
'Cause You're a God who has all things
And still You want me

Your love makes me forget what I have been
Your love makes me see who I really am
Your love makes me forget what I have been

When you really get honest with God, there's an element of desperation in your humility. However, in all that desperation, you know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel which is grace - God's acceptance when you want to be accepted.
