"Basket of prayers"

Basket of prayers

A hymn of offering to God

My heart, O God, my heart

Enters now the Holy Place,

Where You wait with open arms

To meet me face to face.

My heart, O Lord, my eager heart

Bows low before Your Throne,

And trembles Lord to hear You start

To speak to me alone.

My heart, O God, my grateful heart

I offer now to You

A basket of my prayers;

To You beloved Lord,

A basket full of tears

That You alone have wiped away;

A basket full of fears

That You alone have cast afar;

A basket full of hurts

That You alone have healed;

A basket full of hope

That You alone have blessed me with;

A basket full of joy

That Calvary earned for me;

A basket full of prayers,

A basket full of prayers,

A basket, Lord, that’s full of praise,

A basket Lord, that’s full of praise,

My heart, O Lord, I give to You,

A basket full of praise.
