Verse 1
[G2] [C2/G]
The room grew still as she made her way to Jesus
[Cm6/G] [G] – [Cm] – [F] – [Cm] – [G]
She stumbles through the tears that made her blind
[G2] [C2/G]
She felt such pain, some spoke in anger
[A7] [Dsus7] [D7] [D#dim7]
Heard folks whisper, there's no place here for her kind.
[Em7] [Bm7]
Still on she came, through the shame that flushed her face
[Cmaj7] [F13]
Until at last she knelt before His feet.
[G/D]
And though she spoke no words
[D/E] [Em7]
Everything she said was heard,
[Am7] [G2/B]
As she poured her love for the Master
[Cmaj7] [Dsus7]
From her box of Alabaster.
Chorus
[C/D] [G2] [Esus7] [E7]
And I've come to pour my praise on Him like oil
[Am7] [D/A] – [Am7]
From Mary's Alabaster Box
[Am7] [E/G#] [C/G]
Don't be angry if I wash His feet with my tears
[D/F#] [Bm7] [Am7] [C/D]
And I dry them with my hair
[G] [Gaug]
You weren't there the night He found me.
[Cmaj7]
You did not feel what I felt
[Asus7] [A7]
When He wrapped His love all around me.
[G/D] [Am7] [C/D] [G] [Cm6/G]
And you don't know the cost of the oil in my Alabaster Box.
Verse 2
[G2] [C2/G]
I can't forget the way life used to be.
[Cm6/G] [G] – [Cm] – [F] – [Cm] – [G]
I was a prisoner to the sin that had me bound
[G2] [C2/G]
I spent my days pouring my life without measure.
[A7] [Dsus7] [D7] [D#dim7]
Into a little treasure box I thought I found.
[Em7] [Bm7]
Until the day when Jesus came to me
[Cmaj7] [C#dim]
And healed my soul with the wonder of His touch.
[G/D] [D/E]
So now I'm giving back to Him all the praise He's worthy of.
[Am7] [G2/B] [Cmaj7] [Dsus7]
I've been forgiven and that's why I love Him so much.
Chorus 2
[D/E] [A2] [F#sus7] [F#7]
And I've come to pour my praise on Him like oil
[Bm7] [E/B] [Bm7]
From Mary's Alabaster Box
[Bm7] [F#/A#] [D/A]
Don't be angry if I wash His feet with my tears
[E/G#] [C#m7] [F#m7] [Bm7] [D/E]
And I dry them with my hair, …my hair.
[A] [Aaug]
You weren't there the night Jesus found me.
[Dmaj7]
You did not feel what I felt
[Bsus7] [B7]
When He wrapped His love all around me.
[A/E] [Dm/E]
And you don't know the cost of the oil
[A/E] [Dm6/E]
Oh, you don't know the cost of my praise.
[A/E] [Bm7]
You don't know the cost of the oil
[D/E] [F6] [Bbmaj9] [A2]
In my Alabaster Box.
