Alabaster Box

Thank you Maite for sending us this beautiful song! I think it sums up the importance of this event. Complete and total surrender. What she was saving for a dowry ....she gave to Jesus. Here are the words and the link to the you tube video. Enjoy!



Mary's Alabaster Box

VERSE 1
The room grew still as she made her way to Jesus
She stumbled through the tears that made her blind
She felt such pain, some spoke in anger
Heard folks whisper, there's no place here for her kind.
Still on she came, through the shame that flushed her face
Until at last she knelt before His feet. And though she spoke no words
Everything she said was heard, As she poured her love for the Master
From her box of Alabaster.

CHORUS
And I've come to pour my praise on Him like oil from Mary's Alabaster Box
Don't be angry if I wash His feet with my tears and I dry them with my hair.
You weren't there the night He found me.
You did not feel what I felt when He wrapped His loving arms around me.
And you don't know the cost of the oil in my Alabaster Box.

VERSE 2
I can't forget the way life used to be cause I was a prisoner to the sin that had me bound
I spent my days pouring my life without measure.
Into a little treasure box I thought I found.
Until the day when Jesus came to me and healed my soul with the wonder of His touch.
So now I'm giving back to Him all the praise He's worthy of .
I've been forgiven and that's why I love Him so much.

CHORUS
And I've come to pour my praise on Him like oil from Mary's Alabaster Box
So don't be angry if I wash His feet with my tears
And I dry them with my hair, my hair.
'Cause You weren't there the night Jesus found me.
You did not feel what I felt, when He wrapped His loving arms around me.
You don't know the cost of the oil
Oh, you don't know the cost of my praise.
You don't know the cost of the oil
In my Alabaster Box.
