  • Favorite Lyrics: from glass alabaster she poured out the depths of her soul O foot of Christ would you wait if her harlotries known? Falls a tear to darken the dirt, Of humblest of offerings to forgive the hurt She is strong enough to stand in your love I can hear her say... I'm weak, I'm poor, I'm broken, Lord, but I'm yours Hold me now, hold me now Let he without sin cast the first stone if you will To say that my bride isn't worth half the blood that I've spilled Point your finger and laugh if you choose To say my beloved is borrowed and used She is strong enough to stand in my love I can hear her say...
