Spiknard to Annoint Jesus' Feet- a lesson from Mary
Mary purchased Spiknard
A rare and costly oil
And saved it for the Lord
The cost? A years wage of hard toil
She poured it on His feet
Knowing what was to come forth
Others gasped in horror, though she was sweet
For the money could have helped the poor
In her defense," He said
"The poor will always be here
But me, ye have not always"
Hinting His pending death was near
One day we will all realize
The truly poor have no oil for light
It is those without eyes to see
Jesus is the Way, the Truth, the Life
In our day, who have the greatest need?
Who are the poorest of the poor?
These are they for whom we perform
Holy work, in the House of the Lord
This work, they can't do for themselves
So we consecrate our time to help
Those, who have waited decades
To receive the Lord...we can end the wait
[Verse 1] Mary bought Spiknard A rare, costly oil Saved it for the Lord A year’s wage of toil She knelt by His feet Trembling, yet sure Breaking open treasure For One she adored [Pre-Chorus] They gasped in the room Saying, “What a waste” But she saw His mercy Written on His face And He said, “The poor Will always be near” Then the room went still For His hour was here [Chorus] Holy work, holy work In the House of the Lord Holy work, holy work We can end the wait For the least, for the lost For the ones who can’t see Holy work, holy work Set them free [Verse 2] One day we will know Who the poor really are Not only in pockets But in wounded hearts Those with eyes unopened Walking into night Need a faithful people To bring them to the Light [Pre-Chorus] Who will pour the oil? Who will keep the flame? Who will stay and serve In Jesus’ holy name? Those who’ve waited decades At the door of grace We can make room for them We can make a place [Chorus] Holy work, holy work In the House of the Lord Holy work, holy work We can end the wait For the least, for the lost For the ones who can’t see Holy work, holy work Set them free [Bridge] Jesus is the Way The Truth, the Life Open every eye Bring them into light We will consecrate Time, hands, and breath Till the waiting ends Till the worn are blessed [Final Chorus] Holy work, holy work In the House of the Lord Holy work, holy work We can end the wait For the least, for the lost For the ones who can’t see Holy work, holy work Set them free Holy work, holy work Here in Your love Holy work, holy work Lift them up
