[Verse]
     D                             
The crowds were in the streets that
           F
 day when Jesus came to town,
C                                
All the synagogue was there and more
G
 from miles around.
     D                             
So I asked him home to dinner just 
    C
to see what I could see
         G                       
of this famous local prophet from 
  A           D
here in Galilee.

[Bridge]
    C                  G          
And I don't know just how this 
    D
woman got into the room.
         C                 G  
But you couldn't miss her gaudy 
                    A
clothes and her strong and sweet 
perfume.
 D                                 
She went straight to Jesus' feet 
    C
and stopped and stood right there.
      G                         
Then cried and wet His feet with 
             A                  D
tears and dried them with her hair.

[Verse]
       D                         F
Now of all the women in my town none
 was so well known.
          C                        
For the flagrant sins she'd lived 
           G
in and the wickedness she'd sown.
        D                          
But He didn't move to stop her, it 
              C
seemed this prophet couldn't tell,
          G                        
That the woman who was touching Him
          A                 D
 was the kind they buy and sell.

       C       G               
And I had no idea just what this 
   D
Jesus planned to do
               C            
When he said "Simon, there's 
  G           A
something I need to say to you."
            D                      
So I said "Teacher, if it's on your
            C
 mind then tell me what you will."
       G                           
But as He began to speak to me the 
 A                 D
room grew quickly still.

[Verse]
                 D               
He said "Take a good look at this 
               F
woman now, in spite of all her 
fears,
       C                        
She's kissed me and anointed me, 
  G
washed my feet with tears.
       D                         
She's honoured me and you've been 
       C
only rude to me instead.
     G                          
You gave no kiss of greeting nor 
   A               D
anointing for my head."

[Chorus]
     C                 G          
Her sins were red as scarlet and now
D
 they're washed away.
     C                     G      
The love and faith she's shown is 
          A
all the price she has to pay.
         D                         
For the depth of God's forgiveness,
       C
 it's more than you can see,
         G                       
And in spite of what you think of 
             A           D
her, she's beautiful to me."

[Verse]
       D                        
Now my anger flamed to hatred, I 
 F
wanted nothing more
         C                      
Than to take this prophet by the 
              G
throat and throw Him out the door.
    D                              
To act like God, forgiving sins, 
   C
and then speak so to me.
       G                         
This itinerant from Nazareth - in 
  A             D
backwords Galilee.

[Bridge]
        C               G     
But instead I sat and trembled, 
    D
shaken to the core.
     C               G            
The woman still was weeping as she
   A
 knelt there on the floor.
 D                             
Jesus turned to her, said "Your 
   C
chains have been released -
      G                            
Your faith has saved you from your 
       A              D
sins, rise - walk in peace."

[Chorus x3]
      C                 G       
Your sins were red as scarlet but 
   D
now they're washed away.
     C                     G      
The love and faith you've shown is
          A
 all the price you have to pay.
         D                         
For the depth of God's forgiveness,
       C
 it's deeper than the sea.
         G                      
And no matter what the world may 
              A           D
think, you're beautiful to me."
