Alabaster Box Album

The room grew still
As she made her way to Jesus
She stumbled through the tears that made her blind
She felt such pain
Some spoke in anger
Heard folks whisper
There's no place here for her kind
Still on she came
Through the shame that flushed her face
Until at last, she knelt before his feet
And though she spoke no words
Every tear she she shed was heard
As she poured her love for the Master
From her box of Alabaster

Chorus:
And I've come to pour
My praise on Him-like oil
From Mary's alabasterbox
Don't be angry if I wash His feet with my tears
And dry them with my hair
You weren't there-the night He found me
You did not feel what I felt
When He wrapped His loving arms around me
And you don't know the cost
Of the oil in my alabaster box

I can't forget
The way life used to be
I was a prisoner
To the sins that had me bound
I spent my days
Poured my life-without measure
Into a little treasure box
I thought I had found
Until the day-when Jesus came to me
And healed my soul
With the wonders of-His love
So now I'm giving back to Him
All the praise He's worthy of
I've been forgiven
And that's why
I love Him so much

Blessed, Broken And Given Lyrics

Two men walked on the road to Emmaus
Blind to a stranger they met on the way
Late in the evening, they asked him to supper
To break bread together at the close of the day
The stranger took the bread and bowed his head
Then asked for a blessing then he broke it
Into pieces of three
He gave to these blind men this bread
Blessed and broken
And suddenly their blinded eyes did see
His life was blessed far more than I could ever imagine
He was touched by God's grace more than I'll ever know
Then he was broken by the hands of the father
To bring sight to all blind men who were lost on their way
After God blessed him and after God broke him
He was given to bring sight to all men
When he was blessed
When he was broken
and after he was given
God blessed him and broke him again and again
My life is blessed far more than I could ever imagine
I've been touched by God's grace more than I'll ever know
So let me be given to the hands of the father
Let me feel, what you felt, when you were broken for me
After my blessing, and after my breaking
Let me be given to bring sight to all men
When I've been blessed
When I've been broken
then after I've been given Lord bless me and break me again and again
Lord bless me and break me again and again

For Love Alone Lyrics

Do you sit by yourself and wonder what live is all about
If there's a purpose or a plan or does it happen by chance
Do you ever think why things always turn out right
No matter how bad you'll find your way again
I've learned how to keep it all together and
now I know nothing else matters
(chorus)
For love alone I live my live
And from this moment on I vow to never lose sight
If I ever doubt the reason why I'm here
I'll start questioning my fears and know it's for love alone
Time flies so fast
Live each day like it's the last
Cherish what you have
When it's gone you can't go back
Cause at the end of the day when we are face to face
I won't be afraid
I'm glad to say I've learned how to keep it all together
And now I know nothing else matters
(chorus)
what I have inside it will never die
for love alone I live my live

He's Not On His Knees Yet Lyrics

He's Not on His Knees Yet
by Cece Winans
From CD: Alabaster Box

He doesn't know his worth
Wears the saddest smile on earth
But he denies it
Love is reaching out to him
But he won't let it in
He defies it
He defies it

Refrain
He's not ready
He's not on his knees yet
He's too strong to be weak
Show him mercy
He's not on his knees yet
Let him break him please
Make him better
Put the pieces back together

He thinks that he's alone
I have walked the road the he's on
And I know he's searching
Looking everywhere but up
He can't fill his empty cup
So he keeps hurting
He keeps hurting

Refrain
He's not ready
He's not on his knees yet
He's too strong to be weak
Show him mercy
He's not on his knees yet
Let him break please
Make him better
Put the pieces back together
Help him please
He's not on his knees...
Yet

Higher Place Of Praise Lyrics

Higher Place Of Praise
by Cece Winans

Now there's a place that's blessed
Now there's a place that's blessed

Where we find happiness
Where we find happiness
A place of Sabbath rest
A higher price of praise (praise, praise)

We lift our hands and
We've learned to dance and
Seems we've got the notion
That we're going through the motions
Now tell me really Is that victory, tell me

But there's a place I've found and
It's a much higher mountain
It wakes me early morning
And I know it's Zion calling me into worship
To give me life daily daily

Now when lie's not the norm
In times of calm or storm
My spirit, my soul and my flesh
Needs this place of praise (praise,praise)

Now here's the story
No flesh can glory
In His awesome presence
It's His Holy name we reverence
This place is precious,powerful and pure (so pure)
A higher place I've found
Take me to higher ground
The brightness of Your face
Gives me a higher praise
Higher, higher
Higher, I wanna go higher
The brightness of Your face
Gives me a higher praise

It Wasn't Easy Lyrics

Don't think for a moment
I never felt the pain
You can't imagine
the hurt and the shame
They put the nails through my hands
Pierced my side please understand
It wasn't easy
But it was worth it
It wasn't easy
I didn't have to do it
But I did it anyway
Cuz I really love you
So much I took your place
I died for your sins
Yes, I'm the one
Don't take it lightly what I've done
It wasn't easy
But it was worth it
It wasn't easy...
I left my throne
My purpose was the cross
Shed innocent blood I paid the cost

Your pain is very real
It seems to be no way out
Just look above and deep inside

Each day is a gift so live
And watch your miracles unfold

The sun is going to shine again
Hang in there and you'll be much stronger
You will survive

And it will lead you to that light

Looking Back At You Lyrics

What can I do?
What wish can I make come true?
Because you mean so much to me
The love I have for you is so strong
This is where I belong
My arms are open wide, so let me hold you
I will be the rock for you
The rain for you
The sun that lights the way across the dark
No matter where you are
I'm never very far away
Night and day my love will lead you through
Look into your heart I'll be lookin back at you
It took some time, but finally you're all mine
It was the hardest road that brought you here
Now whatever comes will be alright
I'll never leave your side
So give me your hand and don't let go
I will be the rock for you
The rain for you
The sun that lights the way across the dark
No matter where you are
I'm never very far away
Night and day my love will lead you through
Look into your heart I'll be lookin back at you
We'll find our way through every storm
Together now
Just look into your heart
I'll be there
I will be the rock for you
The rain for you
The sun that lights the way across the dark
No matter where you are
I'm never very far away
Night and day my love will lead you through
Look into your heart I'll be lookin back at you

More Than Just A Friend Lyrics

o Mr. Busy
I wonder could you share a little time
Let me introduce you to abundance
All that you need I will supply
I wanna be everything
I wanna be more
Already know about the secrets
Already heard about the past
I didn't come to hold the guilt up over
Only want to share the love I have
All I wanna be is everything
I wanna be more than just your friend
Let me be the one to hold you through the night
Then I can take your enemy and win the fight
I wanna be more than just your sister
I wanna be more than next of kin
Gotta be more than just your brother
I wanna be more than just a friend
All I wanna be is everything
I wanna be more
Stay close to me
Be ready to hear my next words
I've got a lot of grace to deliver
And in case you haven't heard
I wanna be everything
I wanna be more
Many places I can take you
Many promises to fill
But in order to recieve them
We've got to make this clear
I've got to be everything
I want to be more than just your friend
Let me be the one to love you when you're wrong
Then I can be the lyrics to a happy song
I wanna be more than just your sister
I wanna be more than next of kin
Gotta be more than just your brother
I wanna be more than just a friend
All I wanna be is everything
I wanna be more

More Than What I Wanted Lyrics

I wasn't looking
All the colors were gray
It's hard to notice
When You're out in the rain
All of a sudden, colors are starting to change
You brought the light
Now the darkness is gone
The search is over now I know you are the one
Somebody tell me
Where did an angel come from?
Cuz you're more than just the one
CHORUS:
Yeah, you're more than what I wanted
Everything I never had
Gotta get right to your heart
You can show me where it's at
You are the miracle I needed so bad
You're more than what I wanted,
everything I never had
Somethin about you
Can't say what it is
Thought you should know that
You are the reason I live
I would do anything to make you believe me somehow
So I'm telling you now
that you're...
CHORUS
Just let me say I would die for you
Give all I have to prove my love is true
And I'll never let you go...
More than what I wanted...

One And The Same Lyrics

How shall I begin
To speak about a God that I will never comprehend
So High and Mighty
And yet closer than a friend
The beginning and the end
The mystery of his Holiness
The wonders of His humanness are

Chorus

One,one and the same
I can't do Him Justice with anyone name
The Holy God of Heaven
And the humble Man who bore my shame
Are one, one and the same

I scarcely understand
How a simple servant can be called the great I Am
How the Son of God
Is still the Son of man

Both the Shepherd and the Lamb
The healer and the Wounded One
The Father and the only Son are

(Chorus)

The way that we can come to know
The truth that sets us free
The Life that died and rose again
Love revealed

Chorus

(extra lyrics)
Prince of Peace
Wonderful !
First and the Last

Oh, Holy Ghost
Hallelujah
Heaven
Hallelujah
And the Humble man who bore my shame
Are one, one and the same
Are one
One and the same

Out Of My House Lyrics

I been sittin here thinking and I've come to conclude
That you've been takin things that really don't belong to you
Sit down, better yet get out
And now you actin up cause you know that I'm on to you
And now I'm bout to tell you what you're gonna do
Get out
Get out, out my house
Don't want you on my porch no more
Stop looking through my window open
Cause you're my enemy and not my friend, (not my friend)
I can see clearly and I don't
Wanna hear you on my radio
Don't wanna see you on my TV screen
Don't wanna read you in my magazine, (movie scene)
You need to hear me
Chorus:
(You know you're wrong)
Tryin to run them games on me
(And you know you're wrong)
Tryin to put them chains on me
(I need you gone gone gone gone gone)
I need you gone gone- I need you gone
So now you're gonna have to yield the floor
And one thing more
I'm gonna have to show you to the door
And when you go(And when you go please stay away)
(Get out my house)
I don't ever want to have to see your face round here no more
(Get out my house, out my house, out my house)
(You need to get out my house)
I don't ever want to have to see you come around here no more
(Get out my house, out my house, out my house)
Stop messin with my family
I'm takin back what you stole from me
'Cause now I'm living in victory
And you don't scare me, I'll tell you why
God is for me so I'm not afraid
My escape is already made
And His life it was the price He paid (Price He paid)
And now you're under my feet
Chorus
I need you gone gone gone gone gone
I just really need you gone gone gone gone
So now I have to tell you so long
It was all wrong and what I don't want
Is you to ever come back, cause I'm
Not in the mood to negotiate, I know
God is for me and I'm not afraid
Gone gone. . .gone gone
And when you go, And when you go please stay away

Without Love Lyrics

Without Love
Cece Winans

Without Love
THere's no need to prophesy
Without Love
There would be no blue skies
Without Love
We're all just wasting our time
Loves the key to eternal life

Love suffers long and it's kind to all (all the time)
It never fails, helping others (never seeks her own)
Love always bears and endureth all
Without love everything would fall
Love is the greatest gift that (God has given us)
It never leaves, Love is stronger (than anything)

I can have faith to remove mountains
But it means nothin without love

Love is the greatest--God has given us
It never leaves--Than anything
I can have faith to remove mountains

Love is the key
(It's the greatest gift)
Love is the key
(It forgives all things)
Love is the key
(It's the greatest gift of all)
Love is the key
We need Love (Repeat)
We need Love, Love is the key
