Alabaster Box - 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
Every tear she she shed was heard
As she poured her love for the Master
From her box of Alabaster

Chorus:
And I've come to pour
My praise on Him-like oil
From Mary's alabasterbox
Don't be angry if I wash His feet with my tears
And dry them with my hair
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
Of the oil in my alabaster box

I can't forget
The way life used to be
I was a prisoner
To the sins that had me bound
I spent my days
Poured my life-without measure
Into a little treasure box
I thought I had found
Until the day-when Jesus came to me
And healed my soul
With the wonders of-His love
So now I'm giving back to Him
All the praise He's worthy of
I've been forgiven
And that's why
I love Him so much

Repeat Chorus

Everytime I play this song, I cant stop myself from crying, because of the little things that God has showned me, blessed me, or even taught me, I would want to be there to pour my oil and wash Heet... MYGOD!!! Yes Lord, My request is for him to use me, and use me for his work... Less of me and more of Him, thats all I want people to see

The alabaster box was a box to hold perfume and oil... but if you think about it.. all of us have alabaster boxes.. the "box" may not be a physical item. It could represent the life experiences of a person. Have you ever gone through something and wondered how you got over??? maybe you didn't bring you through it.. maybe God did and that experience is another item that is contained within your alabaster box. All the praise belongs to God for forgiving and maybe helping you through the item

@LyrixAddict The alabaster box was a box which was used in Biblical days to hold perfumes or oils. I love this song as well.
