00:20.100 --> 00:24.260
Crowds were in the streets that day when
Jesus came to town.

00:25.140 --> 00:28.980
All the synagogue was there and more from
miles around.

00:29.580 --> 00:34.700
So I asked Him home to dinner,
just to see what I could see of this

00:34.700 --> 00:38.420
famous local prophet from here in Galilee.

00:41.100 --> 00:47.630
I don't know just how that woman got in,
but you couldn't miss her gaudy clothes

00:47.630 --> 00:49.290
and her strong and sweet perfume.

00:49.290 --> 00:55.170
She went straight to Jesus' feet,
stopped and stood right there and then

00:55.170 --> 00:59.410
cried and wet His feet with tears and
dried them with her hair.

01:03.340 --> 01:08.840
Now of all the women in my town,
none were so well known for the flagrant

01:08.840 --> 01:12.220
sin she lived in and the wickedness she'd
sown.

01:12.740 --> 01:14.580
But He didn't move to stop her.

01:14.860 --> 01:20.340
It seemed this prophet couldn't tell that
the woman who was touching Him was the

01:20.340 --> 01:22.080
kind they buy and sell.

01:23.960 --> 01:29.160
And I had no idea just what this Jesus
planned to do when He said, Simon,

01:29.460 --> 01:32.580
there's something I need to say to you.

01:32.920 --> 01:37.260
So I said, Teacher, if it's on your mind,
then tell me what you will.

01:38.000 --> 01:42.400
But as He began to speak to me,
the room grew quickly still.

01:45.340 --> 01:50.880
He said, Take a good look at this woman,
in spite of all her fears.

01:51.240 --> 01:55.820
She's kissed me and anointed me,
washed my feet with tears.

01:56.160 --> 02:00.260
She's honored me, and you've been only
rude to me instead.

02:01.080 --> 02:05.040
You gave no kiss of greeting, no anointing
for my head.

02:06.500 --> 02:11.060
And her sins were red as scarlet,
but now they're washed away.

02:11.060 --> 02:15.940
The love and faith she's shown is all the
price she has to pay.

02:16.460 --> 02:20.760
For the depth of God's forgiveness,
well, it's more than you can see.

02:21.000 --> 02:25.500
And in spite of what you think of her,
she's beautiful to me.

02:29.390 --> 02:31.430
My anger claimed a hatred.

02:32.110 --> 02:38.090
I wanted nothing more than to take this
prophet by the throat and throw him out

02:38.090 --> 02:38.650
the door.

02:38.650 --> 02:43.450
To act like God, forgiving sin,
than to talk like that to me.

02:43.970 --> 02:48.090
This itinerant from Nazareth in backwards
Galilee.

02:51.850 --> 02:56.770
But instead I sat and trembled,
shaken to the core.

02:57.510 --> 03:01.530
The woman still was weeping as she knelt
there on the floor.

03:02.390 --> 03:06.430
Jesus turned to her and said, Your chains
have been released.

03:08.750 --> 03:12.990
Your faith has saved you from your sin's
rise.

03:13.790 --> 03:14.290
Walk in,

03:18.590 --> 03:23.010
your sins were red as scarlet,
but now they're washed away.

03:23.730 --> 03:27.970
The love and faith you've shown is all the
price you have to pay.

03:28.250 --> 03:32.790
For the depth of God's forgiveness,
it's deeper than the sea.

03:33.090 --> 03:37.910
And in spite of all these Pharisees,
you're beautiful to me.

03:38.730 --> 03:43.570
Your sins were red as scarlet,
but now they're washed away.

03:44.050 --> 03:48.310
And the love and faith you've shown is all
the price you have to pay.

03:48.690 --> 03:53.170
For the depth of God's forgiveness,
it's deeper than the sea.

03:53.490 --> 03:57.990
No matter what the world may think,
you're beautiful to me.
