Lyrics
Hey girl there in my reflection
Man this world’s been messing
It’s been messing with your mind
Hey girl, someone stole your smile now
It’s been a little while now
Happiness is hard to find
Letting everybody and their mother try to tell you what you’re worth
What you’re worth
When did you forget that the one who made you told you what you’re worth
Repeat after me
I’m a blood bought, battle fought, all my shame long gone
Made new child of the king
I’m an amen, testify, holy water baptized
Went down and came up clean
I’m a soul been saved
By that amazing grace
And now there ain’t no way girl
Can’t take that away girl
Don’t forget you’re free
It’s who you’re made to be
Hey girl
Hey girl, don’t you know you’re beautiful
Crazy kind of wonderful
And there’s no one like you
Hey girl, you don’t need to measure up
You are the treasure of
The God who loves you
No more letting everybody and their mother try to tell you what you’re worth
What you’re worth
And if you should forget, let the one who made you tell you what you’re worth
And repeat after me
Hey girl, I’m glad we had this talk now
Think we said it all now
But here’s a little last advice
Live free, walk in victory
And repeat after me

About This Song
"I remember walking through a really tough season when I was growing up. I was always comparing myself to other girls and I always felt like I couldn't measure up and I was never good enough. I remember a sweet friend telling me how precious I was in the eyes of God and I didn't have to strive for perfection or work hard to get God's love and attention, but I was just enough as He made me. I wrote this song with a couple of good friends, Matthew West and Jeff Pardo, and I remember sitting down with them and talking about what it was like to go through that season. I remember them just encouraging me in the Lord reminding me of my worth. 'Hey Girl' is an anthem for all women of all ages who are struggling with their identity. I hope and pray that this song encourages you that you are made in the image of the most High King. Know that you are a daughter of God who cherishes and loves you and that you are enough." -Anne Wilson
