Anointed

Mary shows love unbound
  known in anointing
Before burial, before death
  with the oils of
Preserving, care, washing
  all of the sorrows
Ahead of time, it took
  all she had saved
So they debated an act
  of pure love
Made it cheap because
  it could have been
Better spent, to feed
  to help, to clothe
Jesus would have none
  of this spoiling
No, he recognized the
  pure gift of heart
Given in the costly act
  of care spilled
