our jars of alabaster


our bodies, our lives,
our jars of alabaster
vessels of love
holding God’s Spirit
the grace that saved us
our risen Lord Jesus
taking up our lives
our jars of alabaster
breaking them wide open
to offer God’s love
to share our witness
to offer our lives
a fragrant offering
upon the feet of Christ
our gifts, our lives
poured out in love
