Outside I pray for strength
But how would even God hear me
The lights are glowing from the Triclinium
My feet begin moving to fix all that i have done wrong

I hear their comments fly
Whispers race behind my back
But His eyes meet mine
Step on, I step on

At His feet I fall
Tears flowing easily now
Silence falls
The air is thick with tension
But I pour out perfume on His feet
And apologize when my tears dilute this anointing

Chorus:
So I take this Alabaster Jar
All I have at Your feet
Holding nothing back
My sins exposed
And my hair let down
Praising You with this Alabaster Jar

My hair I let down
Like so many times before
Each time a wound
Another scar on my soul

My tears wet His feet
It's different than before
He doesn't turn away
So still I have hope

Lord forgive me
(your faith has saved you)
Lord forgive me
(go in peace)
Lord forgive me
(your faith has saved you)
Lord forgive me
(go in peace)

Mae... The song sounds fantastic... i remember when you told me about writing it. Wish I could hear your vocals better you should really record it in a studio! Hope you are doing well!
