Gaither Vocal Band's 'Broken And Spilled Out' reflects on the biblical story of a woman who anoints Jesus with expensive perfume, symbolizing total surrender and devotion. The song draws a parallel between her sacrificial act and Christ's own sacrifice on the cross, emphasizing that both were motivated by love. It calls listeners to offer their most precious treasures to Jesus, just as He gave Himself completely for humanity. The lyrics focus on the themes of abandonment, costly worship, and the profound love of God demonstrated through Jesus' willing sacrifice.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

One day a plain village woman

Driven by love for her Lord

Recklessly poured out a valuable essence

Disregarding the scorn

And once it was broken and spilled out

A fragrance filled all the room

Like a prisoner released from his shackles

Like a spirit set free from the tomb

 

Broken and spilled out

Just for love of you, Jesus

My most precious treasure

Lavished on thee

Broken and spilled out

And poured at your feet

In sweet abandon

Let me be spilled out

And used up for Thee

 

Lord you were God's precious treasure

His loved and his own perfect Son

Sent here to show me the love of the Father

Just for love it was done

And though you were perfect and holy

You gave up yourself willingly

You spared no expense for my pardon

You were used up and wasted for me


Broken and spilled out

Just for love of me Jesus

God's most precious treasure

Lavished on me

Broken and spilled out

And poured at my feet

In sweet abandon

Lord you were spilled out

And used up for me
