Alabaster Box (Live) lyrics - CeCe Winans

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

So 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, mm

'Cause 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

Not of this oil in my Alabaster box

No one knows what you've been through

I can't forget the way life used to be

'Cause I was a prisoner to the sin that had me bound

And I spent my days, I poured my life without measure

Into a little treasure box I thought I found, oh

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

That's why I love Him so much

So I've come to pour my praise on Him like oil

From Mary's (Alabaster Box) Mary's Alabaster Box

So don't be angry if I wash His feet with my tears

And I dry them (With my hair)

(You weren't there)

Not the night Jesus found me

You did not feel what I felt

When He wrapped His love (Loving arms around me)

And you don't know the (You don't know)

And you don't know (You don't know)

Jesus was there (You don't know)

You don't know (You don't know)

Jesus was there

You don't know (You don't know)

Jesus was there (You don't know, you don't know)

You don't know the cost

Not of this oil in my Alabaster box

Come on, let's worship Him

Come on and give Him glory

Mm
