A Small Town Girl
She grew up in a small town,
Just another Kansas girl,
But she had dreams of flying,
Of going to see the world
The land there was empty,
Life there seemed bleak,
She was restless for more,
So for more she did seek
But she leaned toward the timid,
Afraid to go alone,
Doubt of herself,
Is to what she was prone
She went off to college,
Not too far away,
To be used by her God,
Is what she did pray.
A small town girl,
Even the traffic she feared,
Her zone of comfort,
Had soon disappeared
With her faith all in God,
She followed His way,
Never knowing for sure,
What would happen each day
As she leaned on the Father,
Her fears and her doubt,
Did seem to diminish,
As new confidence did sprout
It was a confidence in Her Savior,
In what He could do,
Of His strength and His love,
Ever constant and true
A small town girl,
She followed Him here,
To a place far away,
Where nothing known is near
The city is crowded,
The language still unknown,
Here where God’s word,
Is daily being sown
A small town girl,
She now misses that land,
That wide open sky,
Under which she would stand
It was there her dreams began,
From here they do continue,
Though she’s now learning to be content,
In each and every venue
Her God has brought her far,
In many more ways than one,
And she trusts Him to complete,
Each work He has begun.
So listen, dear friends,
To this story so true,
God’s adventure waits for everyone,
And especially for you
From wherever you’ve come,
Wherever you are,
From the dreams of your heart,
God is never too far
Let His dreams become yours,
Let His love live through you,
Let His strength always guide you,
In whatever you do.
