Lyrics
| Verse 1 |
So here it is, my alabaster heart
I’m keeping nothing back from who You are
No hidden treasure veiled by key or lock
You’re a lifetime worth of worship
And that’s only just the start
| Verse 2 |
Here it is, my every waking day
The minutes, hours, the years of endless praise
For You’re worthy far beyond all I could say
There’s a lifetime worth of worship
In the nuance of Your names
| Chorus |
Let it rise like incense
My whole life, a fragrance
Every ounce, here broken at Your feet
Every breath, an offering
My heart cries, these lungs sing
Over You, my worthy King of Kings
| Verse 3 |
There it is, Your alabaster cross
Giving all You are for all I’m not
I can’t believe that’s the kind of King You are
How could I not bring a lifetime worth of worship to You God
| Bridge |
All my love
All my love
All my love
You can have it all
All my heart
All my soul
All I own
You can have it all
| Alt Chorus |
Let it rise, like incense
My whole life, a fragrance
Every ounce, here spilled out at Your feet
Every breath is my offering
My heart cries these lungs sing
Over You, my worthy King of Kings
| Tag |
You’re worthy of it all

Meaning & Inspiration
Alabaster Heart portrays worship as the offering of an entire life to God. The alabaster image gathers together love, time, possessions, breath, and praise, leaving nothing hidden or withheld. Incense and fragrance describe devotion rising before God, while the language of brokenness at his feet suggests costly surrender. The song also sets that offering beside the cross, presenting the self-giving of Christ as the reason the worshiper responds with lasting adoration.
The alabaster imagery recalls Luke 7:37-38, where a woman brings perfume and pours it out at the feet of Jesus. Its appeal for every breath and every part of life to become an offering aligns with Romans 12:1 and the call to present the body as a living sacrifice. Psalm 141:2 provides another close connection by comparing prayer to incense before God. These biblical echoes support the central theme: worship extends beyond spoken praise into love, attention, and surrender offered to the worthy King.
