She was only 17 Wild at heart and following her dreams Believing she was pretty Got a ticket to the city Where she'd find her place on the cover of a magazine
It was only a chat room, but it would lead the way To the door of a man where she'd throw it all away He said they'd take it slow But little did she know She'd be all used up by the end of the day
But she was strong And she would survive Ambition would be her drive And she said...
I'll make a way I'll do whatever it takes Even though it won't be easy I have a plan and though I may not understand Someday, I'll make a way
Where did she go wrong, how did she get here? Livin' hard and looking older than her years Miss Little Big Town Trying to hold a job down Doing what she could to choke her fears
But she was strong And she would survive A spark of hope had kept her dream alive And she cried...
I'll make a way I'll do whatever it takes Even though it won't be easy I have a plan and though I may not understand Someday, I'll make a way Someday, I'll make a way
Walking down the road In the city where she'd come with so much hope Her vision had long died Along with all her pride And she found herself at the end of her rope
But she heard angels through the door Of a church she'd passed a million times before There was a song of heaven ringing And soon she found herself believing That out there maybe there was something more
So she bowed her head to pray And said, Jesus, please make a way
And she heard Him say...
I'll make a way I'll do whatever it takes Even though it won't be easy I have a plan and though you may not understand Today, I'll make a way
Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah Today He'll make a way

Song Description: "I have been a part of the "Revolve Tour"-a conference for girls 12-18 years old-for the past three years. It has been a life-changing experience for thousands of girls, and also for me. Brittany was a girl that stood out to me in particular. When she was 17, her parents allowed her to accept a modeling contract, moving her to New York City. Having no friends, she joined an online community and found herself in a chat room where she met a guy. They would eventually meet in person and he would steal her innocence. Life dealt her some hard blows, which in turn, hardened Brittany's heart. She was home for a break and her mother brought her to the "Revolve Tour," where she heard me speak and sing. God transformed her life and now she is in college studying counseling, believing once again that she has a future. No matter what we've done or what has been done to us, there's no place that's too far. God will reach us wherever we are, and He always makes a way." - Natalie Grant
