Story Behind The Song

Listening to stories of women, and children who have been rescued from human trafficking, the porn-industry, and prostitution, i realized there was a thread. We look into the sex industry and demonize the workers, but the patrons and the pimps are the real problem. And the human wreckage they leave behind need to know the real story in the Bible that Mary Magdalene wasn't Jesus' victim... She was one of his greatest freedom stories!

Song Description

From the perspective of Mary Magdalene as a sex trafficked woman who pours out her life at Jesus feet in from the Expensive Box that the years of slavery to prostitution bought her. It wasn't the treasure to her we all thought.

Lyrics

Here it is, My Whole life
From the Daddy who refused me,
And all the people that used me.
In this little box
People think that its my treasure
From a life of carnal pleasure.

But if they only knew the price I paid
Was more than the wage of money made
I break open all the years
Of violence pain and tears,
And pour them at your feet with all my grief.

(Chorus)

This is my body broken
I give you all the pain that I've kept inside
And after this day, I'll never crawl in shame again.
I'll stand with shoulders back and lifted eyes.
Because you poured your love on me
seeking nothing in return.
The essence of my life I pour out at your feet
And i'll never look back,
Ever look back,
Jesus.

V/2

These tears and this kiss
are for the childhood I missed
Taken from me by a cruel master
And while the world stands and stares
I do not even care
They're love and approval is not what I'm here after

Down here on the ground
My weeping is the sound
of the years they kept me down and kept me low

So right here I forgive-----
and I let go ----(exhale)

(Chorus)

This is my body broken
I give you all the pain that I've kept inside.
And after this day, I'll never crawl in shame again.

I'll stand with shoulders back and lifted eyes.
Because you poured your love on me seeking nothing in return
the essence of my life I pour out at your feet.
And i'll never look back,
Ever look back, Jesus!

(Vamp)
You saw me in the dirt and knew that I was hurting,
You picked me up and let me stand.

(Chorus)

This is my body broken
I give you all the pain that I've kept inside.
And after this day, I'll never crawl in shame again.

I'll stand with shoulders back and lifted eyes.
Because you poured your love on me seeking nothing in return
the essence of my life I pour out at your feet.
And i'll never look back,
Ever look back

No I'll never look back
Ever look back
Jesus!
