Verse 1
What can I take to heaven
That lasts for eternity?
What can I do today, a difference made,
A journey spent that will not fade?

Verse 2
When I think of how You spent Your life
To show me a higher place,
You took a path unknown, the cross alone,
A journey that did not fade.

Chorus
Love is patient, love is kind.
It bears, believes, hopes, endures all things,
Love never fails.

Verse 3
To feed the poor, to heal, to prophesy,
Move mountains with the gift of faith.
All good things to set my heart upon,
But the greatest gift wins the race.

Verse 4
For when I stand before Your throne of light
All special gifts disappear.
And in that day we’ll see, what’s revealed in me,
For only love stands the test of fire.  (Chorus)

Tag
Faith, hope the greatest of these is love... (Repeat)

Verse 1             
The room was lit by candles, your disciples all around…
But when I walked inside the door, they uttered not a sound.
I approached with trepidation, I was fearful from the start…
But then I looked into Your face, and saw compassion in Your heart.

Chorus
What great love You must have, to save a sinner such as me,
So I wash you with my tears, my crown of glory dries your feet.
And no matter what they say… no matter what they do,
I brought this alabaster jar, to pour out my love for You.

Verse 2
Then suddenly they started to grumble and declare,
“Why let this woman touch You and dry You with her hair?
The perfume she is using could feed the hungry and the poor!”
You stopped them with a look and said “Yes – but she loves Me more.”

Chorus

Verse 3
You also spoke of dying, buried in sweet perfume…
I do not think they understood, there was silence in the room.
You gave glory to my actions, but the glory is all Yours,
As I tip the alabaster jar...and out my love pours.

Chorus

Tag
It wasn’t just the tears, it wasn’t the perfume…
It wasn’t the alabaster jar…but the love I have for You.

I Cannot Fathom

Chorus
I cannot fathom, what You endured for me,
I cannot fathom.
Nailed to a tree, blood flowing endlessly, Your love for me…
I cannot fathom.

Verse 1
Jesus looked into his eyes, as Judas leaned to kiss His cheek,
The first betrayal turns into many from the weak.
Every day…our sin is betrayal by a kiss…
He weeps for this, He weeps for this.

Chorus

Verse 2
Mary runs to her child, as he stumbles and he falls.
She turns him in her arms, he’s not a child at all…
But a man…shredded by whips and by our sin,
She weeps for Him, she weeps for Him.

Instrumental Chorus

Bridge
As Jesus sighed His last breath, the Father’s tears from heaven fell.
The earth moaned, the rocks split, as Satan lost his kingdom’s grip.
It was finished…life is given through His death…
God weeps for joy, God weeps for joy!

Chorus
I cannot fathom, what You endured for me,
I cannot fathom.
Raised from death, an open door to the heavenlies, Your love for me,
I cannot fathom…
Oh, I cannot fathom, what You endured for me, Your love for me…
Upon that tree.

I cannot fathom…I cannot fathom…I cannot fathom…I cannot fathom.

La Vasija de Alabastro

V1.
Las velas iluminan el cuarto, con tus discipulos alrededor...
Pero cuando yo cruce la puerta, no habia ni un sonido.
Me acerque con trepidacion, temeroso al empezar…
Pero cuando mire en tu rostro, vi compacion en tu corazon.

Coro
Que gran amor debes tener, para salvar un pecador como yo,
Yo te lavo con mis lagrimas, mi corona de gloria seca tus pies.
Y no importa que diran… no importa que haran,
Yo traje la vasija de alabastro, para derramar, mi amor, por Ti.

V2.
De repente comenzaron, a quejarse y declararon,
“Porque dejaste a esta mujer tocarte y secarte con su cabello?
El perfume que esta usando, alimentaria al ambriento y pobre!”
Los callaste con Tu mirada, y dijiste,  “Si - pero ella Me ama mas”.

Coro

V3.
Tambien hablaste de morir, enterrado en dulce perfume…
No creo que ellos comprendieran, habia silencio en el cuarto.
Tu diste gloria a mis acciones, pero la gloria es toda Tuya,
Al vertir la vasija de alabastro… vertia mi amor.

Coro

Tag
No solo eran las lagrimas, no era el perfume…
No era la vasija de alabastro…sino el amor que tengo por Ti.
