As it turns out, “Alabaster Box” had quite an impact on the gospel music legend when she heard it for the first time. Independent of your personal religious beliefs, there’s something powerful about hearing anyone speak their truth as earnestly as Winans does. So as we combat both the realities of a global pandemic and a media barrage that sometimes seems as unrelenting as the novel coronavirus itself, music is a balm, and no song brings more comfort that CeCe Winans’ epic “Alabaster Box.” As Christians worldwide observe the most Holy Week of the year, it’s a perfect time to deconstruct that masterpiece, which was the title track to Winans’ fourth solo album, released in 1999. For centuries, songs like “Amazing Grace” and “His Eye Is On The Sparrow” have proven their utility for getting music fans over the rough side of the mountain. There is indeed great anointing in this song.Nothing beats a good gospel song when the going gets rough.

Rather he will accept us and wrap his loving arm around us. *And the line 'heard folks whisper there is no place here for her kind' this means that when men reject us, that doesn't mean that jesus will also reject us. *Anointing jesus feet means that mary has accepted jesus, and jesus himself did not chase her away.

As long as we've made up our mind to change and accept him, he also will accept and forgive us. So my own description of this song is that since jesus allowed mary who is a prostitute, someone who is seen as unworthy to touch his holy feet and anoint it, he is therefore ready to accept us irrespective of our past. And i'll always ask myself that 'if a woman who is considered a prostitute can anoint jesus' feet, what then have i done for jesus'. Truely, there are many songs that make me cry each time I listen to them, but the rate cannot be compared to that of 'alabaster box' I play this song in my cell phone wherever I go, and whenever I play it in my house, i'll fall to my knees, lie flat on the floor and weep as I'm singing along, making the song mine and singing it directly to jesus. When He wrapped his loving arms around me and You weren't there the night Jesus found me I was a prisoner to the sin that had me bound When he wrapped his love all around me and She stumbles through the tears that made her blindĭon't be angry if I wash his feet with my tears
