Matthew 26: 6-13
The room grew still
As she made her way to Jesus
She stumbles 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.
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 love all around me
And you don't know the cost
Of the oil in my alabaster box.
I can't forget the way life used to be
I was a prisoner to the sin that had me bound
And I spent my days
Poured 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.
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 dry them with my hair, my hair
You weren't there the night JESUS 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
You don't know the cost of my praise
You don't know the cost of the oil
In my alabaster box.
Oh Jesus, don't ever let us forget the day You found us!
The day when we came to You, hurt, sinful and broken.
You touched us and healed us. Brought us into the family of God as
You covered us with You cleansing blood.
You took our wasted lives and transformed them into something usable.
We can stand now, whole and clean before a Holy God, only because You
have made it so.
All we want is to join with Mary and kneel at Your feet.
You are the Master and You are worthy.
Oh, how we love You! How thankful we are that You saved us!
Don't ever let us forget that.
Don't let us leave our first love, You!
We give You this day, our hearts and our lives, because You have bought
them with Your sacrifice of love. Amen!
