Universal Perfume

Move by the love deep in heart she came to the door
Of Simon’s abode a stranger yet she came
A vial of costly perfume, and eyes overflowing with tears
On a mission of love she bowed down
And poured an everlasting fragrance of love

What followed that day is hard to believe, I try to forget
He hung by Himself alone on the cross for me
But a breeze rose up on that day
That moved all over the land
“Twas lifting and filling the air
With the same perfume that she poured an essence of love

Beaten and worn, our church carries on its fight ‘till the end
Our leaders are jailed, unjust as it is, it happens
Our faith keeps urging us on
To fight a battle we’ll win
Inspired by the Spirit we go
I smell that same refreshing essence of love
I smell that same refreshing essence of love

Our pastors depart to answer the call, there’s no looking back
The wind of the Spirit guides and compels them
In words of hope from despair
A touching of healing they give
It’s not their own self but his
I smell that same refreshing essence of love
I smell that same refreshing essence of love

We pray that Your church will always be filled with that sweet perfume
The Spirit will breathe it always in our lives
With tribulations and strife, our lives we offer to serve
We know will always be there
That strong and overpowering fragrance of love
That strong and overpowering fragrance of love
That Universal unending fragrance of love
