G2C2/G The room grew still as she made her way to Jesus Cm6/GG – Cm – F – Cm – G She stumbles through the tears that made her blind G2C2/G She felt such pain, some spoke in anger A7Dsus7D7D#dim7 Heard folks whisper, there's no place here for her kind. Em7Bm7 Still on she came, through the shame that flushed her face Cmaj7F13 Until at last she knelt before His feet. G/D And though she spoke no words D/EEm7 Everything she said was heard, Am7G2/B As she poured her love for the Master Cmaj7Dsus7 From her box of Alabaster.
[Chorus]
C/DG2Esus7E7 And I've come to pour my praise on Him like oil Am7D/A – Am7 From Mary's Alabaster Box Am7E/G#C/G Don't be angry if I wash His feet with my tears D/F#Bm7Am7C/D And I dry them with my hair GGaug You weren't there the night He found me. Cmaj7 You did not feel what I felt Asus7A7 When He wrapped His love all around me. G/DAm7C/DGCm6/G And you don't know the cost of the oil in my Alabaster Box.
[Verse 2]
G2C2/G I can't forget the way life used to be. Cm6/GG – Cm – F – Cm – G I was a prisoner to the sin that had me bound G2C2/G I spent my days pouring my life without measure. A7Dsus7D7D#dim7 Into a little treasure box I thought I found. Em7Bm7 Until the day when Jesus came to me Cmaj7C#dim And healed my soul with the wonder of His touch. G/DD/E So now I'm giving back to Him all the praise He's worthy of. Am7G2/BCmaj7Dsus7 I've been forgiven and that's why I love Him so much.
