"Take ye from among you and offering unto the LORD: whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the LORD.... And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the LORD's offering.... And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing-hearted" (Exodus 35:5-22). "Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment" (John 12:3).
Let everyone that's willing-hearted,
Bring an offering to the Lord.
Give to God what He's imparted,
Like the ointment Mary poured.
How cannot our hearts be stirred
When we thus view Him on the cross,
According to His faithful word,
To save us from eternal loss?
What then shall we bring to Him?
What kind offering can suffice?
Fill our hearts, Lord, to the brim,
To pour them out in sacrifice.
