The room grew still
As she made her way to Jesus
She stumbles 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
Everything she said was heard
As she poured her love for the Master
From her box of alabaster
Refrain
And I've come to pour
My praise on Him
Like oil from Mary's alabaster box
Don't be angry if I wash his feet with my tears
And I 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 love all around me and
You don't know the cost of the oil
In my alabaster box [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/cece_winans/alabaster_box.html ]
I can't forget the way life used to be
I was a prisoner to the sin that had me bound
And I spent my days
Poured my life without measure
Into a little treasure box
I'd thought I'd found
Until the day when Jesus came to me
And healed my soul
With the wonder of His touch
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
Refrain
And I've come to pour
My praise on Him
Like oil from Mary's alabaster box
Don't be angry if I wash his feet with my tears
And dry them with my hair (my hair)
You weren't there the night Jesus 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
Oh, you don't know the cost of my praise
You don't know the cost of the oil
In my alabaster box

For me this song speeks to the equality of all god loving people. None of us knows the cost of the others praise. We are all equal to the lord

It is my praise unto the lord, from all my trials and tribulations;i've been through and god blessed me with fresh anointed oil because i endure through it all.
So i give it back to him that is store in my alabaster box for my lord and savior who brought me out and set me free.
I love jesus so much; he deserve all the glory and all my praise from my alabaster box.
God blessed!

Searching for true meaning in life, will do what ever it takes to find real love, careless what anyone thinks. As she take that step, she learns the quick fix life, she lived was not only distroying her, but it is also a sin. We all need real love and not to be treated like some pleasure toy. Stay real to yourself people. God loves you, he knows your problems and is only a prayer away.

Jesus takes me like i am. Once i meet him, it changes me completely
