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

This is a powerful song that speaks wonders, even if you just read the words alone.

Close To You (Lyrics)

I just want to be close to you.
Sunshine, moonlight, delight just a couple words describing who you are.
Lovely, so lovely – want everyone to know why I’m in love with you

Patient and strong, always, no matter what I face you’ve been there to see me through.
Just right (right on) on time, it took a while to see that your love was true.

Now no one can (undo)
Cause I belong (to you)
Until the end (of time)
It’s good to know (good to know you’re mine)
And all I want (to say)
Until my dying (dying day)
I just want to be close to you

Honest and sweet
Heaven is where I want to be
Where I am when I’m with you
Perfect, yes perfect
It took a while to see that this was love true

Now no one can (undo)
Cause I belong (to you)
Until the end (of time)
It’s good to know (you’re mine)
And all I want (all I want to do is say – til my dying day)
I just want to be close to you

Now following me Sis…
Say dah dah, you say (dah dah)
Say dah dah
Dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah
Dah dah (mmm,mmm) dah dah
It took a while to see, now we know the truth

Now -no one can (undo)
I belong (to you)
Until the end (of time)
Good to know (good to know you’re mine)
And all I want (all I want to say – till my dying day)
I just want to be close to you
Ya ya ya ya (how long will you stay)
I just wanna be close to you
