Song Lyrics

---

Three chambers of my heart are full
With so much faith and hope and love
But there is an empty chamber hidden
And a closed door keeps sweet joy trapped above

Chorus
O Lord, please send the key
Unlock my heart
Send forth Your joy into my sadness
May Your peace forever flood
The empty chamber of my heart
All the chambers of my heart

I need this joy so urgently
So faith and hope and love can sing
Don’t get me wrong, I’m forever thankful
But with joy, released praises could I bring

Chorus
O Lord, please send the key
Unlock my heart
Send forth Your joy into my sadness
May Your peace forever flood
The empty chamber of my heart
All the chambers of my heart

Like the ground needs tears from heaven
Like Your creation, melody
Like nature’s palette, pure colour divine
Faith, hope and love need joy’s fragrance to see

Chorus
O Lord, please send the key
Unlock my heart
Send forth Your joy into my sadness
May Your peace forever flood
The empty chamber of my heart
All the chambers of my heart

Joy tends the garden with roses
Joy cancels out affliction’s pain
Joy filters through and brings healing sunshine
Joy bursts forth like the gift of needed rain

Chorus
O Lord, please send the key
Unlock my heart
Send forth Your joy into my sadness
May Your peace forever flood
The empty chamber of my heart
All the chambers of my heart

O Lord I feel a softening
As my heart fills with love sublime
You have showed me where the key was hidden
It had been worn on fear’s chain all this time

Thank You Lord, You unlocked my heart
The locked door is now open wide
You’ve sent so much joy, it now fills my heart
And heaven’s joy now overflows inside
