Alabaster Box

[Intro:    ]


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                      Dsus          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            Dsus    
From her box of Alabaster. 


Chorus: 
C/D                  G2                 Esus    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  
                    Asus      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                          Dsus      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     Dsus    
I've been forgiven and that's why I love Him so much. 


Chorus 2: 
D/E                  A2                F#sus      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  
                    Bsus      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.
