The Alabaster Box
At the banquet egos were being fed
As Jesus struggled with what lay ahead
Everyone had their agendas and plans
Not focusing on GOD's kingdom but on man's
Even the servants were too proud to wash feet
As each person struggled to get the best seat
Jesus' reputation and loneliness had grown
Though surrounded by admirers He was alone
A beautiful woman quietly entered the room
In her spirit she could sense the impending doom
Too often Jesus had "one-upped"" a Pharisee
She knew well their cold hearts and treachery
Then she saw Jesus in the midst of the crowd
Each demand for His attention was quite loud
When she looked into His eyes she could feel the pain
Of the used and abused and see its' awful stain
Tears began to fall as she came near
Her love for Jesus greater than her fear
All that she had was in an alabaster box
She broke the seal and unlocked the locks
Pouring it all on Jesus the fragrance was sweet
Then with her tears and her hair she washed His feet
As time stood still Jesus blessed her with this
"Thank-you for seeing what is easy to miss
For understanding what I am going thru
The love you are seeking finally found you"
As soon as she left the murmuring began
Why this waste she should have had a plan
Lavishly giving where there is no need
Thinly disguising their selfishness and greed
And then Jesus spoke...
"I had many needs that were unmet
What this woman has done do not forget"
.....peace.....
