Jamie Grace - God Girl Lyrics
Lyrics
Oh oh oh oh yeah
If my eyes light up when I say your name
And it's written all over my face
Tell me does it make me crazy
Well, maybe I got somethin' that I can't explain
And the beauty of it never changes
It's got me wrapped up
I'm all caught up
I can't help but say
I'm a God girl that's who I be
From the top of my head to the soles of my feet
No I can't deny it, wouldn't even try
I'm your girl in a crazy world
I'm a God girl that's who I be
From the top of my head to the soles of my feet
I can't deny it, wouldn't even try
I'm your girl for the whole wide world to see
(See, See, See)
And when my ears start hearin' what people say
Hurry up find love cause times tickin' away
Well, I'm not bein' lazy I'm just waiting for
Still waiting for the right boy
Cause I only want to listen to your voice
So I'll be listenin'
Always listenin' to you everyday
Cause I'm a God girl that's who I be
From the top of my head to the soles of my feet
No I can't deny it, wouldn't even try
I'm your girl in a crazy world
I'm a God girl that's who I be
From the top of my head to the soles of my feet
I can't deny it, wouldn't even try
I'm your girl for the whole wide world to see
Your name in lights
My biggest dream
My all in all
You're all I need
Hand in hand with the master of all creativity
And I won't stop until I know
All my Facebook friends and foes
Look at me and only see one thing
I'm a God girl that's who I be
From the top of my head to the soles of my feet
I can't deny it, wouldn't even try
I'm your girl in a crazy world
God girl that's who I be
From the top of my head to the soles of my feet
No I can't deny it, wouldn't even try
I'm yours
Oh I'm a love girl and I'll always be
From the top of my head to the soles of my feet
I can't deny it, wouldn't even try
I'm your girl for the whole wide world to see
(Your name in lights)
(Can't change it)
(Can't fake it)
(Can't break it)
(You can't change, can't fake, can't break)
(I'm your girl)
Oh oh oh oh yeah
For the whole wide world
The whole wide world to see

Meaning & Inspiration
Jamie Grace's "God Girl," released in 2011 as part of her album *One Song at a Time*, is a vibrant declaration of identity rooted in faith. The song immediately immerses the listener in a feeling of uncontainable joy and certainty, opening with a palpable sense of excitement that suggests an unshakeable inner truth. This isn't just a casual affiliation; it's a profound realization, "written all over my face," indicating a complete and open embrace of this identity. The lyrics express a feeling that is both deeply personal and undeniably outward-facing, a "something that I can't explain" that fills her with a joy that "never changes." This internal certainty drives the core message, the bold proclamation, "I'm a God girl, that's who I be."
The meaning of "God Girl" extends beyond a simple label; it’s a comprehensive description of a life surrendered to and defined by God. Grace articulates this by stating, "From the top of my head to the soles of my feet," implying that her entire being is dedicated to this identity, leaving no room for denial or pretense. This is a commitment, echoed in passages like Romans 12:1, which encourages believers to offer their bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God. The song emphasizes that this isn't a hidden aspect of her life, but something she's willing for "the whole wide world to see," a testament to the transformative power of her faith. She contrasts this conviction with the societal pressures that urge young women to find romantic love quickly, noting, "Hurry up find love cause times tickin' away." Instead of succumbing to this external urgency, she prioritizes listening to a higher voice, waiting for God's timing, much like David's patient trust in the Lord in Psalm 27:14: "Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."
The central theme of "God Girl" is an unwavering devotion, where God is not just a part of her life, but her "all in all," her "biggest dream." This pursuit of divine connection is framed as a partnership, "Hand in hand with the master of all creativity," a beautiful metaphor for walking in step with the Creator. This deep-seated commitment suggests a desire for her life to be a visible testament to her faith, so that others "look at me and only see one thing" – the presence of God. This resonates with the biblical instruction to let our light shine before others, as Matthew 5:16 states, "Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." The repetitive and anthemic chorus reinforces the unwavering nature of this identity, with the final declaration, "I'm yours," serving as a complete surrender of her will to God's. The concluding lines, "I'm a love girl and I'll always be," further solidify this sense of purpose and divine belonging, suggesting a life characterized by the love that flows from her relationship with God.
