Alabaster Jar

[Verse 1]
I was shattered on the floor
Silent pieces by the door
Every hope I had felt far
Like a broken alabaster jar
Every crack showed where I'd failed
Every scar
A story trailed
Thought my heart was stuck in shards
Thought I'd lost my place with God
[Chorus]
But Jesus
I'm in love with You
You make me feel compassion
Feel made new
You gather every fragment of my heart
You put me back together
Piece by piece
Part by part
I was broken like an alabaster jar
Now I'm shining in Your wounded hands
My Lord
I'm in love
I'm in love with You
[Verse 2]
You knelt down among the dust
Called my name and said
"Come trust"
All my shame fell at Your feet
In Your mercy
I found peace
Now this life
My costly oil
Poured on You in grateful toil
Every tear
A holy star
Falling from this alabaster jar
[Chorus]
Oh Jesus
I'm in love with You
You make me feel compassion
Feel made new
You gather every fragment of my heart
You put me back together
Piece by piece
Part by part
I was broken like an alabaster jar
Now I'm shining in Your wounded hands
My Lord
I'm in love
I'm in love with You
[Bridge]
Take my worship
Take my years (hallelujah)
All my laughter
All my tears
Let my story tell who You are
Your redemption in this alabaster jar
[Chorus]
Jesus
I'm in love with You
You make me feel compassion
Feel made new
You gather every fragment of my heart
You put me back together
Piece by piece
Part by part
I was broken like an alabaster jar
Now I'm dancing in Your saving grace
My Lord
I'm in love
I'm in love with You (oh Jesus)
I'm in love
I'm in love with You
