Alabaster Box Lyrics - Alabaster Box - Cece Winans

The room grew still 

As she made her way to Jesus 

She stumbled through the tears 

That make 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 

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 

[Chorus]
