Burning the Midnight Oil

Jesus said that in the midnight hour

There'll be Virgins

who'll hear the great Cry

Behold He cometh,

rise and trim your lamps

Go and meet Him,

the Bridegroom is nigh

But some discovered

they were lacking the oil

They were empty with no light to see

So I ask You, dear Lord,

Come and fill me with Your Spirit,

Keep me burning for You is my plea.

I wanna be burning,

Burning the midnight oil

With my lamp all trimmed and glowing

A vessel full of the Holy Ghost

I will shine the light through the night

To the Word I must be loy'l

There is a virgin Bride

Burning the midnight oil

Sometimes I really get

to wondering why

It's a struggle to get down and pray

I feel the spirit of complacency

We're surrounded by

the darkest days

I am running with a burning desire

I'll keep holding up this light of mine

I am working day and night

with the ones who hold the promise,

It is time for us to rise and shine

I wanna be burning,

Burning the midnight oil

With my lamp all trimmed and glowing

A vessel full of the Holy Ghost

I will shine the light through the night

To the Word I must be loy'l

There is a virgin Bride

Burning the midnight oil

We'll work till Jesus comes

We'll work till Jesus comes

We'll work till Jesus comes

Burning the midnight oil.
