Perfume and Tears

[Verse 1]
I walked in broken, wore my guilt just like a name
Seven shadows clung to me and whispered all my blame
They said I was too far gone, too stained to ever rise
But You looked past the rumors and the judgment in their eyes

[Verse 2]
I brought the alabaster, everything I had to give
Fell down before You silent, barely knowing how to live
My tears fell like a river on the dust of Galilee
I dried Your feet with my own hair and poured my whole heart free

[Chorus]
You didn't turn away from me
You spoke a word that set me free
"Your sins are forgiven… go in peace"
Oh, the weight that left me
The love that found me
I am the one forgiven much
So I will love You much

[Verse 3]
He whispered, "If You knew her, You would turn her out the door"
But You spoke of two forgiven debts — who owes much, loves the more
This perfume was my future, poured out into Your hands
You received it like a treasure no one else could understand

[Chorus]
You didn't turn away from me
You spoke a word that set me free
"Your sins are forgiven… go in peace"
Oh, the weight that left me
The love that found me
I am the one forgiven much
So I will love You much

[Bridge]
I was the sinner at the table
You were the mercy that remained
Now every breath is thanksgiving
Every tear I cry is praise
I will follow where You lead me
I will never be the same

[Final Chorus]
You didn't turn away from me
You spoke a word that set me free
"Your sins are forgiven… go in peace"
I am the one forgiven much
So I will love You…

[Outro]
I will love You much
