This is one of the most moving songs I have ever heard. I heard if first as part of an Easter play at a church. The scene from Luke 7 with Jesus at Simon the Pharisees house for dinner when this woman with the alabaster box of ointment enters and anoints the Lord's feet after washing them with her tears and wiping them with her hair. I will never forget that scene from that Easter play nor that song. My wife and I wept the whole time as it is a very touching song that describes the love and devotion of a woman that has been born again and set free from the power of sin and the life transforming love she has for the Lord. Outstanding song!

This song tells the story from the Gospels where a woman anoints Jesus with alabaster. The song is simply beautiful and powerful and could bring almost anyone to tears.
