The Alabaster Bottle
He is the precious one
The anointed Lord
I pour it out
Yes pour it all out
Needless you count the cost
I have already spent it all
You need must understand
Christ has paid the full price for my death
Not counting the many sacrifices
Trust me there is no perfume
Too expensive to lavish on this man
He is far too worthy
A portion just will not do.
That's the reason for the broken bottle
So I will pour it all out
Again I heard you over there exclaimed
It is indeed too costly
But oh what a difference it would have been
If you were there, when I was wounded.
Yes wounded and left to die
Christ was the one who came along and healed my
brokenness.
Forsaken by friends and cultures
He became my great confidant
Yes buffeted by the famous in the halls
Of fame He gave me honor.
Rejected by society Christ accepted me as I was.
Despised by the rich, He received
And provided for me.
Attack by the enemy He protected me
When I was condemned to die, He stepped in as my
judge
Oh yes unable to defend myself amongst
The elite in society, He became my advocate.
Sick, broken, weary and wounded, He healed my body
Safe my soul then baptized and makes me whole
Friends stop and think for a moment,
There is no need for concern over the broken
bottle.
Remember even the merchant took my money, in the purchase
of the alabaster bottle of oil.
And for those following Him I heard some
Exclaimed it is indeed to expensive
Yet I dare not heed their concerns
For this man has done for me
What no one else could?
Gazing upon His fair countenance
Transcend all of earth’s beauty.
Basking in His presence is
Treasures beyond all measures.
Earth's diamond cannot be
Compare with His beauty.
Forgive me if you do not understand,
What this man has done for me?
Oh yes having a lover like this in an everlasting
relationship,
Showing me kindness beyond my wildest dreams.
Friend he is a savior without limits
Worshiping at His footstool transcends all earthly
honors.
My, oh my smelling His sweet aroma surpasses all of
the
Fresh fragrances, taken from earth's finest gardens.
Friend's I hope by now you have seen why
I His daughter, have no reason for wit holding the
bottle
Yes this precious alabaster bottle,
Knowing too well He will return to me
Measures pressed down, shaken and running over.
Therefore with share delight I pour it all out,
Yes pour it all out, on this true lover,
The delightful Master and savior
He who deserved the full bottle of oil
And so again I say I pour it out, I pour it out
For all that He has done for me.
I pour it out
Pour it out
Yes pour it out
For my master, lover and King
