A very simple song I wrote a while back after a series of mishaps, during a time of  feelings of rejection and especially after the loss of my late father.

Going Down

Stoneheart

Song of two hearts separated by distance...

Come A Little Closer

Just a recording on a quick take...


Lyrics:

Chorus:
Alabaster Jar, Your Alabaster Jar
Alabaster Jar, Your Alabaster Jar is your heart

Verse:
Prepare to give your valuable, Alabaster Jar
Prepare to go and surrender what is valuable to God
Prepare to make a little sacrifice 
Of faith, To give up your heart

Bridge:
Just like, the Bethany woman, gave her perfume to Christ
Just like Abraham prepared to sacrifice his son
And the Martyr Stephen, how he gave up his life
His Alabaster Jar, for the Kingdom of God

Chorus:
Alabaster Jar, Your Alabaster Jar
Alabaster Jar, Your Alabaster Jar is your heart

Interlude:
And so, what a man, can offer to God, is giving his life, to Jesus Christ,
That is the most, precious, most valuable offering, like the gift of the woman, who gave up  everything

Bridge:
Just like, the Bethany woman, gave her perfume to Christ
Just like Abraham prepared to sacrifice his son
And the Martyr Stephen, how he gave up his life
His Alabaster Jar, for the Kingdom of God

Chorus:
Alabaster Jar, Your Alabaster Jar
Alabaster Jar, Your Alabaster Jar is your heart (x2)
