If you find yourself loving any pleasure more than your prayers, any book better than the Bible, any house better than the house of the Lord, any table better than the Lord's table, any persons better than Christ, or any indulgence better than the hope of heaven – be alarmed.
Thomas Guthrie

Broken and spilled out

You are currently viewing Broken and spilled out

One day a plain village womanDriven by love for her LordRecklessly poured out a valuable essenceDisregarding the scornAnd once it was broken and spilled outA fragrance filled all the roomLike a pris’ner released from his shacklesLike a spirit set free from the tomb

Broken and spilled outJust for love of you JesusMy most precious treasureLavished on TheeBroken and spilled outAnd poured at Your feetIn sweet abandonLet me be spilled outAnd used up for Thee

Lord You were God’s precious treasureHis loved and His own perfect SonSent here to show meThe love of the FatherJust for love it was doneAnd though You were perfect and holyYou gave up Yourself willinglyYou spared no expense for my pardonYou were used up and wasted for me

Broken and spilled outJust for love of me JesusGod’s most precious treasureLavished on meYou were broken and spilled outAnd poured at my feetIn sweet abandon LordYou were spilled out and used up for Me

In sweet abandon, let me be spilled outAnd used up for Thee
