                        He calls it worship, He calls it praise: He calls it the high   -  est  praise

Verse 1:          C^m               G^aug/B         E^b/B^b         F⁹/A

                        Mary came into the house where Jesus was

                        F⁷                                  B^b   B^dim6

                        Bringing her precious perfume

                        C^m                  G^aug/B    E^b/B^b         

                        She broke and poured it out on his feet

                                     C^m7                         D^7sus4    D⁷

                        And her worship filled up the room

                        G^m                F^#aug             B^b/F        C⁷/E

                        Disapproving whispers were heard all around

                                   C^m7             C^m7/F      A^bmaj7/B^b  B^b7

                        As the crowd cried, oh what a waste

                                        E^b         C⁷/E             B^b/F               G^m7

                        But Jesus lifted her head and the words that He said

                                      A^b                       F^sus4

                        Were forever the glory she claimed

Chorus:           E^bmaj7                   D^m7

                        He calls it worship, He calls it praise

                                    C^m7     F^7sus4   F⁷      A^bmaj7/B^b  B^b7

                        When I lay my life         at His feet

                                   E^b            F/E^b          D⁷  G^m/E  D⁷/F^#    G^m  

                        In the eyes of the world they call     it         a        waste

                                A^b            E^b/G         E^b/C         F^7sus4  F⁷  B^b

                        But He calls it worship; He calls it the high - est    praise

Bridge:                G^m              F^#aug           B^b/F            C⁷/E

                        Nobody understood but she did what she could

                                    C^m7               F^7sus4   F⁷          A^bmaj7/B^b  B^b7

                        For the One who had saved    her from sin

                                       E^b             C⁷/E    B^b/F      G^m7

                        Now her simple adoration is my inspiration

                           A^b                         F^sus4   F

                        I pour out my life for Him

Chorus:           F^maj7                     E^m7

                        He calls it worship, He calls it praise

                                    D^m7    G^7sus4  G⁷     B^bmaj7/C   C⁷

                        When I lay my life        at His feet

                                   F              F/G           E⁷  A^m/F^#   E⁷/G^#    A^m           

                        In the eyes of the world they call    it           a       waste

                               B^b             F/A             F/D         G^7sus4   G⁷  C

                        But He calls it worship; He calls it the high  -  est    praise
