Lauren Daigle - This Girl Lyrics
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus 1]
This girl ain't going anywhere
This girl ain't going anywhere
I can promise You this, now I know for sure
This girl ain't going anywhere
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus 1]
This girl ain't going anywhere
This girl ain't going anywhere
I can promise You this, now I know for sure
This girl ain't going anywhere
[Bridge 1]
Oh, I know
I searched the world to find my heart is Yours
Oh, my heart is Yours
I searched the world to find my heart is Yours
Oh, my heart is Yours
[Chorus 2]
This girl ain't going anywhere
This girl ain't going anywhere
This girl ain't going anywhere
This girl ain't going anywhere
[Bridge 2]
I searched the world to find my heart is Yours
Yes, my heart is Yours, ohh, oh-oh-oh
I searched the world to find what I'm looking for
I want nothing more
Oh, my heart is Yours

Meaning & Inspiration
Released as part of her 2018 album "Look Up Child," Lauren Daigle's "This Girl" is a powerful declaration of steadfast faith and unwavering belonging. The song delves into the often tumultuous journey of spiritual discovery, acknowledging the internal struggles and external wanderings that can characterize a life of faith. Daigle articulates a profound realization, born from experience, that despite moments of doubt or feeling lost, her ultimate home and identity are firmly rooted in God. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who has explored, perhaps even sought validation or understanding in the world, only to discover that true contentment and purpose are found in divine connection. This sentiment echoes the Apostle Paul's declaration in Philippians 3:8, "Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord." The "winding road" and being a "stranger in my home" speak to the disorientation that can arise when we stray from God's path, a sentiment reminiscent of the Prodigal Son's journey in Luke 15, who, after squandering his inheritance, found himself wanting. Yet, the core of the song is its resolute chorus: "This girl ain't going anywhere." This is not a statement of complacency, but rather a deeply secured conviction rooted in God's faithfulness. It speaks to the divine promise found in Hebrews 13:5, which assures believers, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." Daigle's exploration of searching "the world to find my heart is Yours" beautifully illustrates the human yearning for belonging and the eventual understanding that this true belonging is a gift from God. This aligns with the psalmist's cry in Psalm 27:4, "One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life." The song's strength lies in its honest portrayal of the ongoing process of faith; it recognizes that even when we feel we've "gone too far," God's presence remains constant, "seeing us all along," as Daigle sings, mirroring God's omnipresence described in Psalm 139. "This Girl" is an anthem for anyone who has wrestled with their faith, offering a reassuring reminder that in Christ, there is an unshakeable foundation and an eternal home.
