God uplifts us more when we show how humbled we are by His mercy and holiness. To kneel before God and present our unadulteratedly contrite and submissive heart is the most glorious act a worshiper can do as sacrifice. Mary Magdalene only did a very extravagant act of surrender that amazes all of us. The way she broke the bottle of perfume shows something behind it: the breaking of oneself. All the time we have to break ourselves before the Lord in order to pour out what is inside us. There must be no reservation. We have to break our closed hearts as acclamation to His authority entering us. From our Lord who gave His dear precious life, would we ever dare withhold anything we have?
At Your holiness I humbly bow down
Broken and surrendered to You alone.
I shall decrease and pour all my tears
To prepare You as You take Your throne.
To empty myself is never enough
To equal the price You've paid for me.
Oh, what love that made grace abound,
saved my soul, and set me free.
The nails that held your dearly hands
Showed love, mercy, and grace eternal.
I break myself to be spilled before You
and present my heart for a renewal.
No gold, no pearl cost greater than love
That brought salvation none can buy.
How precious is that blood of the Lamb
That cleansed me from every lust and lie!
In total truth I kneel to wash Your feet
Unworthy as I am, I surrender to Your will
I solely long to serve You faithfully
With love and brokenness so real.
I spill my all to release my aromatic worship
For a Savior who'd lay down His life for man.
To kiss Your purity, I shall not cease
To exalt and praise You as long as I can.
As I'm emptied I desire to be filled afresh
With Your Holy Spirit saturating my heart.
By Your grace I'll live and to myself I'll die.
No longer will You, Jesus, and I be apart.
