Holy Week is such a special time of reflection. As the 40-day journey of Lent swells to a crescendo of victory on Sunday, there are moments of silent contemplation, and at times, tears. When I reflect upon the sacrifice of my Lord Jesus and the events of that week long ago, I’m undone. Music helps me to commune with God throughout the year, but it especially does this week. I offer here some of my favorite songs that point to the Lamb of God, who died for the sins of the world. I pray they help you to draw closer to Him in worship this week as you celebrate Easter.

ALABASTER BOX – CeCe Winans

While Jesus was eating, a woman came to him with an alabaster jar filled with an expensive perfume, which she poured on his head.
