[C]
[G]
The room grows 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
[A] Heard folks whisper
There's no place here [D] for her kind
[Bm] [G] Still on she came, [Bm] through the shame that flushed her face
Until [C] at last she knelt before [F] his feet
[G] And though she spoke no words, everything [Em] she said was her
[Am] As she poured her love [G] for the master, [C] from her box of [Dm] ambassador
And I've come to [G] pour my praise on [Em] him
Like [E] oil from
[Am] Mary's alabaster pot
Don't be angry [E] if I wash his feet with [C] my tears
[D] And I dry [Bm] them with my hair
[Am] [G] You weren't there the night he found me
You did [C] not feel my fear when he wrapped his [A] love around me
And [G] you don't know the cause of the [Am] oil [C] in my [G] alabaster pot
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
[A] Into a little treasure box I [D]
thought I'd found
[Em]
Until the day [Bm] when Jesus came to me
And [Em] healed my [C] soul with the wonder of
[C#m] his eyes
So [G] now I'm giving back to him all the [Em] praise he's worthy of
I've been [Am] forgiven and [G] that's why [C] I love him so
[D]
And I'm to [A] pour my praise on him
[F#m] Like oil from [Bm] Mary's alabaster box
Don't be angry if I [F#] wash his feet [D] with my tears
[E] And I dry them [C#m] with [F#m]
[Bm] my hair
You
[A] weren't there the night he found me
You did not feel [D] my fear when he wrapped his [B] love around me
[A] And you don't know the cause of the [E] oil in my alabaster pot
You don't know the cause of [Bm] the oil in my
[D] alabaster [F]
[Dm] pot
