Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Cm][Em][C]
[F][Em][G][Cm]
[G][Cm][G][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]The room grew still
As she [C]made her way to Jesus
She [Cm]stumbles through the tears
that made her [G]blind[Cm]
[G]She felt such pain
[C]Some spoke in anger
Heard folks [A]whisper
There's no place here for her [D]kind[B]

[Pre-chorus 1]
[Em]Still on she came
Through the [Bm]shame that flushed her face
Until at [C]last, she knelt before his [F]feet
And [G]though she spoke no words
Every[Em]thing she said was heard
As she [Am]poured her love for the [G]Master
From her [C]box of ala[D]baster

[Chorus 1]
And I've come to [G]pour my praise on Him
[Em]Like oil f[E]rom Mary's alaba[Am]ster box
Don't be angry
if I [E]wash his feet with my [C]tears
And I [D]dry them with my [Bm]hair[Am][D]
You weren't [G]there the night He [Gaug]found me
You did not [C]feel what I felt
When he wrapped his [A]love
all around me and
[G]You don't know the cost of the [Am]oil[D]
In my alabaster [G]box[Cm]

[Verse 2]
[G]I can't forget the way lif[C]e used to be
I was a [Cm]prisoner
to the sin that had me [G]bound[Cm]
[G]And I spent my days
[C]Poured my life without measure
Into a [A]little treasure box
I'd thought I'd [D]found[B]

[Pre-chorus 2]
[Em]Until the day when Jesus[Bm] came to me
And healed my [C]soul
With the wonder of His [A]touch
So now I'm [G]giving back to Him
All the [Em]praise He's worthy of
I've been for[Am]given and that's [G]why
I [C]love Him so [D]much[E]

[Chorus 2]
And I've come to [A]pour my praise on Him
[F#m]Like oil fr[F#]om Mary's alabast[Bm]er box
Don't be angry
if I [F#]wash his feet with my [D]tears
And [E]dry [C#m]them with my h[F#m]air
[Bm]My hair[E]
You weren't [A]there the night Jesus [Aaug]found me
You did not [D]feel what I felt
When he wrapped his [B]loving
all around me and
[A]You don't know the cost of the [Dm]oil
Oh, [A]you don't know the cost of my [Dm]praise
[A]You don't know the cost of the [Bm]oil
In my [E]alabaster [F]box[Bb]
[A]
