My heart was in that jar


I broke my alabaster jar
At the feet of Jesus
The fragrance of my offering
Filled the room.
My tears mixed with rich perfume,
Poured out upon His feet.
I wept and bowed
in gratitude.

My heart
Was in that jar
All my hopes
All my dreams
My future was sealed
In my small vessel
My offering

Broken and poured out
I freely worshiped
Broken and poured out
By my own hands.
Driven by the Holy Spirit’s
Prompting.
Giving all,
To the Son of Man.

My heart
Was in that jar
All my hopes.
All my dreams
My future was sealed
In my small vessel,
My offering

Only One is worthy,
Only One is Holy,
He gave His all for me.
Sacrificial living,
At the feet of Jesus.
Broken,
yet freely offered
To the One who set me free!

My heart
Was in that jar
All of my hopes.
And all my dreams
My future was sealed
In that small vessel.
My offering

I love it. I'll be re-using this (with credit to you of course) at the next prayer meeting I lead.
