Alabaster Box

Purposely white

Seemingly translucent

You are small in shape

But your significance is plenty

 

I’ve lent you to be borrowed

And I am ashamed to have

For you are a piece of me

An offering to be had

 

So I will ask for your forgiveness

As I will only entrust to one set of hands

Your fragrances should break

And its aroma will be received to only His plans

 

A Bird’s Song

As a bird sings even before the rising of the sun

I will give praise even if my burden is too strong

With melodies of hope from rhythms so instrumental

I shall match their pitch disregarding my inevitable failure

And as each verse resounds in heavenly tones

Echoing abilities untouchable to my very own

I will continually sing over and over, note after note

Attempting to match a pitch so eloquently prosed

Because this is the way I want to speak to my Savior

To give Him the glory and to be deserving of His favor
