Anointing At Bethany

You have come to the table of my soul

Thank you, O Lord, for the mercy you’ve shown

What you took you have given back to me

So I pour out the oil of my dreams

As the tears start to fall, I am bathing your feet

Filling this house with the fragrance of your peace

I bow down to the ground

My hair spills all around

I am kissing your feet

I am wiping them dry because I believe that

You deserve to receive all of my love

Anything less, Lord, would not be enough

I’ll lavish you, Lord, with all I have received

I’ll spend my whole life to anoint you as King

They say, Why are you wasting this gift?

Just think of the good you’d have done if you sold it

To serve all the poor souls in this world

Father forgive them, for they know not what they say

Worthy are you, Lamb of God, who was slain

To receive power, riches, wisdom and strength

I fall down at your throne

Longing for you alone

Singing, Holy, Holy!

God should be given all of the glory

Now, Lord, I sit at your feet

You say the better part’s given to me

By your love, by your generosity

She’s done a good thing for me

My time on earth is but a blink of eternity

But the souls of the just shall live forever in peace

They’ll remember this story

You will be given a crown of glory

In memory of what you’ve done

The story will go on and on
