So Small by Carrie Underwood

So Small Lyrics - by Carrie Underwood

Yeah, Yeah

What you got if you ain't got love
The kind that you just want to give away
It's ok to open up
Go ahead and let the light shine through
I know it's hard on a rainy day
You wanna shut the world out and just be left alone
But don't run out on your faith

Cause sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
And what you've been out there searching for forever
Is in your hands
And when you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else seem
So small

It's so easy to get lost inside
A problem that seems so big at the time
It's like a river that's so wide it swallows you whole
While you're sitting around thinking about what you can't change

And worrying about all the wrong things
Time's flying by, moving so fast
You better make it count cause you can't get it back
Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
And what you've been out there searching for forever
Is in your hands
Oh, and when you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else seem
So small, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
And what you've out there searching for forever
Is in your hands
And then you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Oh, it sure makes everything else seem
So small

Yeah, yeah

I found this song a week ago on iTunes & I've honestly always loved Carrie Underwood. It's just this song touches my heart. For reasons that I don't even know if I'd be able to explain. God works in mysterious ways that I've only come to learn in the past few years. Not that I didn't believe that God had a hand in my life and destiny; I believe that he's always lead me to where I'm suppose to be but it depends on how I try to resist or if I listen to his "God Breezes" that he sends my way. If my mind is set on what I want and I follow the direction that I feel him pushing me ... I have to believe that road will not only lead me to a more fufilling relationship with God, but also a life full of love and happiness. I met w/ a close friend of mine last night and she pointed out that I've been looking for a sign to go ahead with my adoption. I think she is right that I do need a sign. I need it to 'feel' right. I need to feel cofident that I'll have the finances to support myself and my child to be that I want to adopt. So at this point I'm praying for some light and also looking into some new career opportunities. I'm so close to having all the mishaps that 'happened' last month taken care of and off of my plate - so I can focus on going forward. Thanks to all of you that have been so supportive near and far and especially to my girl ... who I had a wonderful and long chat w/ last night. I've missed spending time w/ you buddy - you know who you are - you and your family are in my prayers as well as all my adoption blog buddies ... luv ya all - MJ

Love the song!! I hope that your sign comes sooon! We found that God just continued to open doors for us at every turn. This is one of the big ways we knew it was right. We now have EVERY penny of our dossier fee. Just last week, we only had half. It is amazing that when God is in it, it will all work out!

Great song! Seems perfect for this journey.
Waiting is good. You'll know when it's time to start. I've recently felt God letting me in on some of the reasons of why our adoption has taken so long and I think part of it is we started before He was ready for us but He has been with us every step of the way.
You're in my prayers.

Oh, MandyJo, I love this!!! I haven't heard it yet, but the lyrics are so perfect!! I wish I could have heard it during our adoption process. There were some times that were so hard, but we made it through and are so happy with Owen. God does open doors when you least expect it. He will make a way for you.

When we were adopting Owen, I kept singing a song in my head that I sang in choir at church in high school called God Will Make a Way. "God will make a way where there seems to be no way. He works in ways we cannot see. He will make a way for me. He will be my guide and draw me closer to His side. With love and faith for each new day, He will make a way. He will make a way."

I hope you see the sign you need very soon so that you can be comfortable as you take one step closer to your little girl. You're in our prayers :)
