[Verse 1]
   G2The room grew stilC2/Gl as she made her way to Jesus
                                          Cm6/G   G–  Cm–  F–  Cm– G  
She stumbles through the tears that made her blind
   G2She felt such pain, some sC2/Gpoke in anger
Heard folks whA7isper, there's no place Dsus7here for her kD7ind.D#dim7  
    Em7Still on she came, through the sBm7hame that flushed her face
Until at Cmaj7last she knelt before His F13feet. 
And tG/Dhough she spoke no words
EverytD/Ehing she said was hEm7eard, 
As she pAm7oured her love for the G2/BMaster
FrCmaj7om her box of AlaDsus7baster.
[Chorus]
    C/DAnd I've come to G2pour my praise on HEsus7im like E7oil 
                        Am7   D/A–   Am7  
From Mary's Alabaster Box
Don't be Am7angry if I E/G#wash His feet with my C/Gtears 
And D/F#I dry theBm7m with my hairAm7  C/D  
You weren't tGhere the night He Gaugfound me. 
You did not Cmaj7feel what I felt 
When He wrapped His Asus7love all aA7round me. 
And G/Dyou don't know the cost of the Am7oil in my C/DAlabaster GBox.Cm6/G  
[Verse 2]
G2I can't forget the way C2/Glife used to be. 
                                   Cm6/G   G–  Cm–  F–  Cm– G  
I was a prisoner to the sin that had me bound
G2I spent my days C2/Gpouring my life without measure. 
Into a lA7ittle treasure box I thought Dsus7I found. D7  D#dim7  
   Em7Until the day when Bm7Jesus came to me
And healed my Cmaj7soul with the wonder of C#dimHis touch. 
So now G/DI'm giving back to Him all the pD/Eraise He's worthy of. 
I've been forgAm7iven and that's G2/Bwhy I Cmaj7love Him sDsus7o much.
[Chorus 2]

You weren't tAhere the night JeAaugsus found me. 
You did not Dmaj7feel what I felt
