"After these things the word of the Lord came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy Shield, and thy exceeding great Reward" (Genesis 15:1). "Now when Jesus was in Bethany... there came unto Him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on His head, as He sat at meat. But when His disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose was this waste?" (Matthew 26:6-8).
"Why this waste?" the lost will say,
For they know nothing of
The ransom Jesus died to pay,
Compelled by His own love.
So what if others count it vain
To worship Christ our Lord?
Jesus is our greatest Gain,
Our exceeding great Reward.
No, worship is not wasted;
It's a breath of heaven's air.
It's heaven's joys foretasted,
And heaven's grandest prayer.
