I need a voice bigger than mine...

I need words,
As wide as sky.
I need a language large as,
This longing inside.
I need a voice,
Bigger than mine.
I need a song to sing you,
That I've yet to find.

I need You.

These lyrics are from a song by the David Crowder Band.  Today they gave me just the inspiration I needed to start this blog.  A blog that will hopefully raise awareness about human sex- trafficking that is happening all around the world today, including in our own backyards.  The sex trade industry is so huge and so ugly and so heartbreaking that it's overwhelming to think about what we could possibly do to help.  Where would we even start?

I'm going to start with a voice.  Just one voice that will hopefully spread and grow to many voices.  One voice for the children being kidnapped, deceived, prostituted, abused, and...voiceless.

As the song described, to adequately educate the world about this horrific injustice would take words as wide as sky and a language large as our longing to stop it.  I have a voice, but I need a voice bigger than mine.  We can join our voices, but we will need a voice bigger still.

We need the Lord's voice.

This battle is too big, the road too rough, the stories too sad, and the outlook too dim for us to do this on our own.  But with Him, I have hope that chains can be broken and lives can be restored.

But I can't get ahead of myself.  I'll start with a voice, and look to the One with a voice much bigger than mine.
