On My Own

So, I got the Barlow Girl self-titled CD for Christmas. Now it has been in The Way's CD library for awhile, but I don't think I paid any real attention to the lyrics when it has been playing on the stereo. Today, today was different. I put the CD in the stereo of the Tracker and was listening to it on my way to work. I want to share the words to the first song on that CD, “On My Own”

"I can't believe that I’m here in this place again
How did I manage to mess up one more time?
This pattern seems to be the story of my life
Should have learned this lesson by the thousandth time.

'Cause I promise myself I wouldn't fall
But here I've fallen
I guess I'm not as strong as I thought
All I can do is cry to You

Oh God You have to save me
You're my last and only hope
All my right answers fail me
I can't seem to make it on my own

I always thought that I would be strong enough
What made all of them fall couldn't take me down
Yeah, did I think that I was above it all
I have learned that pride comes before the fall

I can't promise that I won't fall
'Cause here I've fallen
I know I'm not as strong as I thought
All I can do is cry to You"

This song struck me hard today. I want you to hear it too. I finally hit the place where I was not alone. I fall and always feel I’m strong enough to make it through on my own. I’m not going to go on and on about the song, because I think it speaks for itself.

So, there you go.

You’ve read it . . . . . .. . . you can’t unread it.
