Break Open Your Alabaster Box

Break open your alabaster box of worship,
Let precious praise rise, a fragrant ship.
Do not let the enemy steal your song,
Unlock your praise - it fits you strong.

Let praise be on your lips day and night,
The praise factor will disarm the fight.
Your songs lets go of yesterday’s sorrow,
And positions your heart for a brighter tomorrow.

Lift up those hands inscribed with victory,
Lift up your eyes to the Lord of ancestry. 
Not through the scales of your situation’s mist,
But see Him rightly for who He is.

The Bread of Heaven, the Sovereign King,
In this season, greater fruitfulness will spring.
Be settled in His Word, press in and stay,
Let it be unto us according to His way.
