Alabaster Box-CeCe Winans

[00:43.47]The room grew still [00:46.53]As she made her way to Jesus [00:50.20]She stumbles through the tears that made her blind [00:58.55]She felt such pain [01:02.04]Some spoke in anger [01:05.37]Heard folks whisper [01:07.94]There's no place here for her kind [01:14.45]Still on she came [01:17.48]Through the shame that flushed her face [01:21.24]Until at last she knelt before his feet [01:29.25]And though she spoke no words [01:33.12]Everything she said was heard [01:37.05]As she poured her love for the Master [01:41.16]From her box of alabaster [01:46.50]And I've come to pour [01:51.49]My praise on him [01:54.08]Like oil from Mary's alabaster box [02:04.21]Don't be angry if I wash his feet with my tears [02:10.65]And I dry them with my hair [02:19.06]You weren't there the night he found me [02:26.07]You did not feel what I felt [02:29.82]When he wrapped his love all around me and [02:35.62]You don't know the cost of the oil [02:41.07]In my alabaster box [02:51.19]I can't forget the way life used to be [02:57.18]I was a prisoner to the sin that had me bound [03:05.88]And I spent my days [03:09.11]Poured my life without measure [03:12.23]Into a little treasure box [03:15.16]I'd thought I'd found [03:20.77]Until the day when Jesus came to me [03:26.78]And healed my soul [03:29.40]With the wonder of his touch [03:34.54]So now I'm giving back to him [03:38.11]All the praise he's worthy of [03:41.78]I've been forgiven [03:44.41]And that's why I love him so much [03:51.99]And I've come to pour [03:56.41]My praise on him [03:59.03]Like oil from Mary's alabaster box [04:09.21]Don't be angry if I wash his feet with my tears [04:15.42]And dry them with my hair (my hair) [04:23.68]You weren't there the night Jesus found me [04:31.09]You did not feel what I felt [04:34.83]When he wrapped his loving arms around me and [04:40.17]You don't know the cost of the oil [04:45.99]Oh you don't know the cost of my praise [04:55.52]You don't know the cost of the oil [05:00.79]In my alabaster box [05:09.67]
