BarlowGirl - Sing Me A Love Song Lyrics
Lyrics
The tension is thick in the air
Making it hard to see
I fear what is to come
And what will become of me
I say a prayer help me not run away
Will you please hold me
And sing me a love song again
Say the words that heal my heart
sing me a love song and then
Let your words remind me who I am
You've never failed me before
Why do I feel betrayed
If I close my heart to you now
The darkness would have its way
I crave your voice help me not fall away
Will you please hold me
'Cause you are all I need
And all that I want is you with me
You are all I need
And all that I want is you with me

Meaning & Inspiration
BarlowGirl’s "Sing Me A Love Song," arriving in the musical landscape around 2010, presented a clear and vibrant expression of devotion that resonates deeply within the realm of faith-inspired music. This track isn't your typical pop ballad recounting earthly romance; it immediately establishes itself as a heartfelt address to the divine, shifting the focus of a love song from a human recipient to the Creator of love itself. The core story behind the song is the compelling, age-old narrative of a soul responding to the overwhelming love of God, desiring not just to speak *about* Him but to actively express profound affection and adoration *to* Him through the language of song. It captures that intimate, personal relationship where worship becomes less of a performance and more of a whispered declaration of love.
The song serves as an invitation to consider our own response to the divine love described throughout Scripture. Just as 1 John 4:19 tells us, "We love because he first loved us," this song embodies the resulting overflow of affection. It explores the desire to offer something back to the One who has given everything, articulating that offering through music and voice. The lyrics capture the yearning to communicate the inexpressible depth of gratitude and love felt for God, a sentiment echoed in countless psalms where the writers pour out their hearts in praise and devotion, like Psalm 104:33 which declares, "I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being." The song acts as a modern anthem for this ancient, biblical impulse to worship and express love through melody and words directed heavenward. It highlights the deeply personal nature of faith, portraying a relationship with God that is not just intellectual assent or adherence to rules, but a vibrant, emotional connection.
Analyzing the song further reveals its power lies in its directness and genuine spirit. It bypasses complex theological discourse to focus on the simple yet profound truth of loving God back. The music itself, characteristic of BarlowGirl's energetic and sincere style, supports this message, building an atmosphere that feels both earnest and joyful. It encourages a form of worship that isn't solely corporate but deeply individual, an act of presenting one's heart and voice as a living offering, a concept reminiscent of Romans 12:1 which calls us to offer our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God – a form of spiritual worship that certainly includes our expressions of love and praise. "Sing Me A Love Song" thus becomes more than just a track on an album; it's an expression of the heart's desire to engage with God on the most personal level, acknowledging His role as the ultimate beloved and responding with the most authentic 'love song' one can offer – that of a life lived in devotion and a voice lifted in praise. It inspires listeners to consider their own 'love song' to the divine, prompting reflection on how they articulate and demonstrate their affection for the One who is the source of all true love.
