Mary's Alabaster Box

Expect to feel God's presence with this song!

Matthew 26:7 "There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat."

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

Refrain

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
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/cece_winans/alabaster_box.html ]
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'd thought I'd 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

Refrain

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
Oh, you don't know the cost of my praise
You don't know the cost of the oil
In my alabaster bo

THE MEANING OF THIS SONG TO ME IS THAT- NO ONE KNOWS WHY I PRAISE GOD THE WAY THAT I DO BUT ME & GOD. NO ONE KNOWS HOW GOD HAS CHANGED ME FROM THE INSIDE OUT THE WAY THAT I KNOW. I WAS CREATED TO PRAISE THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE LIVING GOD. I DANCED WHEN I WAS IN THE WORLD SO I WILL NOW USE THESE FEET TO PRAISE MY GOD...GLORY TO GOD!!! YOU DON'T KNOW THE COST OF THE OIL IN MY ALABASTER BOX. YOU DON'T KNOW THE COST OF MY PRAISE!!! GOD BLESS!!!
