Matthew 25:1-13

 
 1 

We have oil in our lamps — we are burning!

We have oil in our lamps today!

To the spirit, O Lord, keep us turning,

Keep us turning, turning all the way!

 

O Lord! Amen! Hallelujah!

We are burning, burning every day!

O Lord! Amen! Hallelujah!

Turning, turning all the way!

 
 2 

But our vessels need oil for Thy coming;

We must gain a reserve supply.

So our vessels we give for the filling

That our lamps may never, never die.

 

Fill us, Jesus! Fill us, Jesus!

Every moment give us more of Thee!

Fill us, Jesus! Fill us, Jesus!

Fill us with reality!

 
 3 

Then we'll burn till the Lord comes to meet us,

Then we'll burn till He comes that day.

Then we'll go in with Him to the wedding

And be brightly burning all the way.

 

Come, Lord Jesus! Come, Lord Jesus!

Come and find us filled and burning bright!

Come, Lord Jesus! Come, Lord Jesus!

Come and in Thy Bride delight.
