Lyrics
All I am is all I have
And all, all I have to give
And I give it all to You
It's my fragrant oil
My costly perfume
I take my Alabaster Box
And I, I break it open
Let the fragrance arise
Lalalala lalalala (repeat)
Every song every spoken word
All of my dance, all of my rhymes
I give it all to you
It's my fragrant oil it's my costly
perfume, and I take my alabaster box
and I break it open.
So I pour out all my worship over You
And I sing my song of worship straight to You

Meaning & Inspiration
Alabaster Box turns worship into the image of a costly offering poured out before Jesus. The opening lines gather every part of life and creativity into a single gift: possessions, songs, spoken words, dance, and rhyme. By calling that gift fragrant oil and costly perfume, the lyric emphasizes worship that is not withheld or measured cautiously. The breaking of the box suggests a complete offering that cannot simply be gathered back and reserved.
The central image closely recalls Mark 14:3, where a woman breaks an alabaster jar and pours expensive perfume on Jesus. The song applies that scene to praise, presenting artistic expression and the whole self as worship offered directly to Christ. Romans 12:1 supports this wider picture of life presented to God as an act of worship, while John 4:23-24 places true worship in relation to the Father and the Spirit. The repeated desire for fragrance to arise gives the song a reverent focus on surrender, honor, and adoration.
