I recently came across a song and video called ‘Beautiful Slave’ by Take No Glory, “a non-profit musicianary band” that shares the message of Jesus Christ in their music and offers all their music for free at their website.
After reading an article about child sex slavery from International Justice Mission, the singer/songwriter for Take No Glory wrote the song ‘Beautiful Slave’ to help spread awareness about this injustice. The following information, videos, and song lyrics are all taken from their website and YouTube Channel . . .
This is a music video about human trafficking and child slavery. Take No Glory wrote “Beautiful Slave” after reading a true story of a little girl that was trafficked and forced to be a child sex slave. We hope and pray this song will bring awareness.
27 MILLION PEOPLE ARE ENSLAVED TODAY
80% ARE WOMEN 50% ARE CHILDREN
EVERY MINUTE TWO CHILDREN ARE TRAFFICKED
FOR SEXUAL EXPLOITATION
TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Beautiful Slave
I don’t know where I am
they’ve taken all that I had
smuggled in for a lucrative trade
beaten, bartered
broken in, until I obey
I used to be childlike
innocent and safe
now I’m someone else’s treasure
a stranger’s pleasure
smothered in shame
succumbed with drugs
but I’m not numb
all I feel is pain
is this all a dream
will I ever be the same?
Can anyone hear me?
will anyone break these chains?
who will free me?
from this dark place?
does God see me?
what is His name?
will He help me?
I’m just a beautiful slave
My worst fear is my fate
I’m getting older each day
every girl too old in years
mysteriously just disappears
they never mention her name
they take away piece by piece
I don’t think I have any left
I’ve slowly given up all hope
given in to this sleepless bed
inside these bars
I feel so seared
by each new face
how could this ever be
every memory be erased?
He can hear you
He’s seeking you,
He wants to heal you
Jesus knows the real you
Jesus Loves The Little Children
All The Children Of World
Red & Yellow, Black & White
They’re Precious In His Sight
Jesus Loves The Little Children Of The World
He’s Got The Whole World In His Hands
