Hearts Willing for Heaven's Work

"Whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the LORD... The children of Israel brought a willing offering unto the LORD... for all manner of work, which the LORD had commanded" (Exodus 35:5,29).  "One thing have I desired...  to behold the beauty of the LORD" (Psalm 27:4).  "The LORD pondereth the hearts... as for the upright, He directeth his way" (Proverbs 21:2,29).  "I will therefore that men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting" (1 Timothy 2:8). 

The Lord who ponders every heart

Enlists the people who are willing 

With wisdom that He shall impart

To do His work they are fulfilling. 

It's more than just a sense of duty

That stirs the willing hearts today. 

It is the thirst to see the beauty 

Of Jesus Christ, whom we obey.

So let us lift up holy hands

For heaven's work in progress still

As we respond to His commands

With prayerful hearts to do His will. 

Let heaven's work, Lord, be perfected

By holy hands prepared to do

The work of heaven You've directed

With willing hearts we bring to You.
