[Verse]
    G              
The room grew still
Gsus4       G7              
As she made her way to Jesus
                                             G     Gsus4
She stumbles through the tears that made her blind ■    
G                 
She felt such pain
     C        G    
Some spoke in anger
      A            
Heard folks whisper
           A7    D7           Dsus4 D D7
There's no place here for her kind  ■ ■ 
G                
Still on she came
Em7 Bm7                                    
■   Through the shame that flushed her face
      Cmaj7                    F7      
Until at last she knelt before his feet


[Chorus]
F          G                 
And though she spoke no words
Em7                          
Everything she said was heard
       Am7                     Bm7   
As she poured her love for the Master
Cmaj7           Dsus4    
From her box of alabaster
                 G   
And I've come to pour
   G            
My praise on Him
Em7      E7          Am7          
Like oil from Mary's alabaster box


[Verse]
         A               E                C    
Don't be angry if I wash his feet with my tears
      D        Bm7          Am7
And I dry them with my hair ■  


[Chorus]
Dsus4       G                          
You weren't there the night He found me
            Cmaj7           
You did not feel what I felt
                         Asus4      A     
When he wrapped his love all around me and
G                              Am7
You don't know the cost of the oil
Dsus4 G            
In my alabaster box


[Verse]
                   Gsus4              
I can't forget the way life used to be
      Cm            Gsus4            G        Gsus4
I was a prisoner to the sin that had me bound ■    
G                  
And I spent my days
C                      Gsus4  
Poured my life without measure
       A7                 
Into a little treasure box
    Dsus4       D    
I'd thought I'd found


[Chorus]
E Em7                Bm7             
■ Until the day when Jesus came to me
              Cmaj7
And healed my soul 
         Cmaj7              
With the wonder of His touch
       G                     
So now I'm giving back to Him
        Em7    Esus4 Em7      
All the praise He's  worthy of
          Am7     
I've been forgiven
           G  
And that's why
Cmaj7      Dsus4 D    Esus4
I love Him so    much ■    
                 A   
And I've come to pour
             A  
My praise on Him
F#m7          F#7    Bm7          
Like oil from Mary's alabaster box
                             F#           D    
Don't be angry if I wash his feet with my tears
E            C#m7         F#m7 Bm7
And dry them ■    with my hair ■  
Esus4     A                                     
■     You weren't there the night Jesus found me
            Dmaj7           
You did not feel what I felt
                           Bsus4 E      G#m7 A  
When He wrapped his loving arms  around me   and
    A                             
You don't know the cost of the oil
                                 Esus4  A
Oh you don't know the cost of my praise ■


[Outro]
                           Bm7    
You don't know the cost of the oil
      Esus4           F   A#maj7 A
In my ■     alabaster box ■      ■
