This week’s featured song story comes to us from Lauren Daigle. We’re excited to share with you the story behind her song “This Girl.”
“I was in Australia and I saw this word etched in a rock; it was the word home. I was just so bent I thought oh my gosh I’m supposed to move to Australia. Yeah it’s my dream come true. And here I am sitting there just searching for home because I’d been touring for a while and I just felt this little moment of being homesick everywhere I was at, even when I was home. I had a conversation with God about it and He just said something really simple. It was ‘Lauren as long as your heart is following me you’ll never be homesick. You’ll never be too far gone. As long as you can just see the way that I see, as long as you find that security in me then you’ll never have to worry about searching for home again.’” – Lauren Daigle

“This Girl” Lyrics
I’ve been a winding road, oh, I know You know
Sometimes a stranger in my home
Keep going back and forth through the open door
I’m still learning to be still
This girl ain’t going anywhere
This girl ain’t going anywhere-ere-ere
I can promise You this, now I know for sure
This girl ain’t going anywhere
I’ve run for miles and lost sight of where You are
But You have seen me all along
Maybe I’m the last to know when I’ve gone too far
And yet I’m always by Your side
This girl ain’t going anywhere
This girl ain’t going anywhere-ere-ere
I can promise You this, now I know for sure
This girl ain’t going anywhere
Oh, I know
I’ve searched the world to find my heart is Yours
Oh, my heart is Yours
I’ve searched the world to find my heart is Yours
Oh, my heart is Yours
This girl ain’t going anywhere
This girl ain’t going anywhere
This girl ain’t going anywhere-ere-ere
This girl ain’t going anywhere
I’ve searched the world to find my heart is Yours
Yes, my heart is Yours, oh, oh oh oh
I’ve searched the world to find what I’m looking for
I want nothing more
Oh, my heart is Yours
