Trouble the Woman

By Megan Foster

1.

                                                                                   A woman
came

                                                                        and she poured

                                                                              woman,

            a beautiful thing

always.                                                         My body,

                        I say to you,                      is proclaimed

                                            in      her.

  1.  

And while he was,                                       he was reclining–– 

                                                            very costly                and

      broke.

                Why      the waste?           This                  could have
been

           more.

But                              why         trouble

                    you.       Have the poor               you want.

                                                            Truly,

claim       the whole world.

 

 

  1.  

One

                                                woman,                                   when

she                   was

                                       behind him,                          began to

       tear                                    the hair of her head and kiss his
feet.

As

            if this man were                                                  who and

what     woman    is                             for.

                        Her sins              are many              for she loved

                                    him.

  1.  

                                    Jesus therefore came,

                        and

Mary therefore took                of

him                                                                              and

                          gives.

            Jesus said                                she may keep it

for                           always.
