Expensive Perfume Lyrics

In Bethany they honored him

With perfume poured a sacred hymn

The house was filled of fragrant air

A humble act beyond compare

Walk in the light while it shines so bright

Believe in the truth, escape the night

The word has come to save, not condemn

Eternal life is found in him

Judas questioned why this waste

His heart revealed a selfish taste

But his true heart was filled with greed

Not love for those in desperate need

Walk in the light while it shines so bright

Believe in the truth, escape the night

The word has come to save, not condemn

Eternal life is found in him

With palm branches high the crowd proclaims

Hosanna, they shout his holy

On a donkey's colt he humbly rides

The king of glory, our hope and guide

A single seed must fall and die

To bring forth life that multiplies

The Son of Man will soon be raised

To draw all hearts in endless praise

A voice from heaven thunders sound

The Father's glory all around

Some heard thunder, others an angel's plea

Yet blind hearts refuse to see

Walk in the light while it shines so bright

Believe in the truth, escape the night

The word has come to save, not condemn

Eternal life is found in him

Their eyes were blind, their hearts were stoned

The truth was here yet they'd not known

Isaiah saw, he spoke so clear

The glory of the one drew near

They feared the cost, their hearts grew cold

Preferring praise to truth untold

But Jesus said, believe in me

For through the light you'll truly see

I came to save, not to judge the soul

But my words will stand as the final scroll

In him you'll find your way, your sight

Become a child of truth and light

So live in the light, let darkness fade

In the Savior's grace a way is made

The Father speaks, his truth proclaimed

Eternal life in Jesus' name
