Alabaster Box CeCe Winans
Intro:
Verse 1:
[F2] The room grew stil[Bb2/F]l as she made her way to Jesus
Cm6/G G ? Cm ? F ? Cm ? G
She stumbles through the tears that made her blind
[F2] She felt such pain, some s[Bb2/F]poke in anger
Heard folks wh[G7]isper, there's no place [Csus7]here for her k[C7]ind.[Dbdim7]
[Dm7] Still on she came, through the s[Am7]hame that flushed her face
Until at [Bbmaj7]last she knelt before His [Eb13]feet.
And t[F/C]hough she spoke no words
Everyt[C/D]hing she said was h[Dm7]eard,
As she p[Gm7]oured her love for the[F2/A] Master
Fr[Bbmaj7]om her box of Ala[Csus7]baster.
Chorus:
[Bb/C] And I've come to [F2]pour my praise on H[Dsus7]im like [D7]oil
Am7 D/A ? Am7
From Mary's Alabaster Box
Don't be [Gm7]angry if I [D/F#]wash His feet with my [Bb/F]tears
And [C/E]I dry the[Am7]m with my hair[Gm7] [Bb/C]
G Gaug
You weren't there the night He found me.
You did not [Bbmaj7]feel what I felt
When He wrapped His [Gsus7]love all a[G7]round me.
And [F/C]you don't know the cost of the [Gm7]oil in my [Bb/C]Alabaster [F]Box.[Bbm6/F]
Verse 2:
[F2]I can't forget the way[Bb2/F] life used to be.
Cm6/G G ? Cm ? F ? Cm ? G
I was a prisoner to the sin that had me bound
[F2]I spent my days [Bb2/F]pouring my life without measure.
Into a l[G7]ittle treasure box I thought[Csus7] I found. [C7] [Dbdim7]
[Dm7] Until the day when [Am7]Jesus came to me
And healed my [Bbmaj7]soul with the wonder of [Bdim]His touch.
So now [F/C]I'm giving back to Him all the p[C/D]raise He's worthy of.
I've been forg[Gm7]iven and that's [F2/A]why I [Bbmaj7]love Him s[Csus7]o much.
Chorus 2:
[C/D] And I've come to [G2]pour my praise on [Esus7]Him like oi[E7]l
From Mary'[Am7]s Alabaster Box[D/A] [Am7]
Don't be [Am7]angry if I [E/Ab]wash His feet with my [C/G]tears
And [D/F#]I dry the[Bm7]m with my [Em7]hair, [Am7]?my h[C/D]air.
A Aaug
You weren't there the night Jesus found me.
You did not [Cmaj7]feel what I felt
When He wrapped His [Asus7]love all a[A7]round me.
And[G/D] you don't know the cost of the [Cm/D]oil
Oh,[G/D] you don't know the cost of my p[Cm6/D]raise.
[G/D]You don't know the cost of the [Am7]oil
In my [C/D]Alabaster [Eb6]Box. [Abmaj9] [G2]
