Lyrics

[00:42.69] The room grew still
[00:45.30] As she made her way to Jesus
[00:48.84] She stumbles through the tears that made her blind
[00:57.21] She felt such pain
[01:00.75] Some spoke in anger
[01:03.90] Heard folks whisper
[01:06.57] There's no place here for her kind
[01:13.38] Still on she came
[01:15.00] Through the shame that flushed her face
[01:19.86] Until at last, she knelt before his feet
[01:28.17] And though she spoke no words
[01:31.83] Everything she said was heard
[01:35.73] As she poured her love for the Master
[01:39.81] From her box of alabaster
[01:49.92] And I've come to pour
[01:50.31] My praise on Him
[01:52.83] Like oil from Mary's alabaster box
[02:02.91] Don't be angry if I wash his feet with my tears
[02:09.33] And I dry them with my hair
[02:17.67] You weren't there the night He found me
[02:24.72] You did not feel what I felt
[02:28.41] When he wrapped his love all around me and
[02:34.23] You don't know the cost of the oil
[02:39.63] In my alabaster box
[02:49.59] I can't forget the way life used to be
[02:55.71] I was a prisoner to the sin that had me bound
[03:04.92] And I spent my days
[03:07.68] Poured my life without measure
[03:10.71] Into a little treasure box
[03:16.89] I'd thought I'd found
[03:19.71] Until the day when Jesus came to me
[03:25.26] And healed my soul
[03:27.84] With the wonder of His touch
[03:32.94] So now I'm giving back to Him
[03:36.69] All the praise He's worthy of
[03:40.26] I've been forgiven
[03:42.96] And that's why
[03:45.48] I love Him so much
[03:47.28] And I've come to pour
[03:55.02] My praise on Him
[03:59.01] Like oil from Mary's alabaster box
[04:07.50] Don't be angry if I wash his feet with my tears
[04:16.38] And I dry them with my hair
[04:26.49] You weren't there the night He found me
[04:29.46] You did not feel what I felt
[04:33.12] When he wrapped his love all around me and
[04:38.85] You don't know the cost of the oil
[04:40.50] In my alabaster box
[04:41.46] And I've come to pour
[04:41.85] My praise on Him
[04:42.18] Like oil from Mary's alabaster box
[04:46.95] Don't be angry if I wash his feet with my tears
[04:48.81] And dry them with my hair (my hair)
[04:49.53] You weren't there the night Jesus found me
[04:52.11] You did not feel what I felt
[04:52.68] When He wrapped his loving arms around me and
[04:54.00] You don't know the cost of the oil
[05:15.84] Oh, you don't know the cost of my praise
[05:16.50] You don't know the cost of the oil
[05:17.07] In my alabaster box
