Poured Out For Him

The song I have chosen for today is taken from a live worship session at Christ For the Nations Institute in Dallas. For any of you who are not familiar with this awesome training center, it is an interdenominational missionary organization founded by Gordon and Freda Lindsay. My husband and I have always loved this school and have attended many conferences held there over the years.

Something that is very unique to this missionary training school is the powerful praise and worship. Students from every nation are trained not only in the word, but they also grow in their worship life as well. Some of the greatest worship music sung all over the world originated from CFNI.

The Alabaster Jar is an incredible worship song. There is no story in the entire bible that illustrates the heart of true worship better than this one which is found in Mark 14:3:

“Meanwhile, Jesus was in Bethany at the home of Simon, a man who had previously had leprosy. While he was eating, a woman came in with a beautiful alabaster jar of expensive perfume made from essence of nard. She broke open the jar and poured the perfume over his head.”

But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal knowledge of him. For we are to God, the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. To the one we are the smell of death; to the other, the fragrance of life. (2 Corinthians 2: 14-16).

(Please remember to mute my music!)





This alabaster jar
Is all I have of worth

I break it at Your feet Lord,

,

It's less than You deserve

You're far more beautiful

More precious than the oil

The sum of my desires

and the fullness of my joy!

Like You spilled Your blood,

I spill my heart as an offering

to my King

Chorus:

Here I am, take me

As an offering

Here I am, giving every heartbeat

For Your glory take me

The time that I have left

is all I have of worth

I lay it at Your feet,

Lord It's less than You deserve

And though I've little strength

And though my days are few,

You gave Your life for me

So, I will live my life for You

Worthy, WorthyYou are worthy

Worthy is the Lord
