Burning The Midnight Oil Lyrics

LaFontain

Verse 1

Jesus said that in the midnight hour

there are virgins that will hear that great cry

Behold he comes rising trim your limbs

Go and meet Him the Bridegroom is nigh

Some discovered they are lacking the oil,

they were empty with no light to burn,

So I ask you dear Lord just to fill me with your Spirit

Keep me burning for You is my Plea



Chorus

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 world I must belong

there is a virgin Bride, burning the midnight oil



Verse 2

Sometimes I really get to wonder why,

it's a struggle to get down and pray

feel the spirit of complacency,

we're surrounded by the darkest day.

but I'm running with a burning desire,

I keep running with this light of mine

and I'm working day and night

with the ones who hold the promise,

it is time for us to rise and shine



Bridge

We'll work till Jesus comes, We'll work till Jesus comes,

We'll work till Jesus comes, 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.



Ending

I will shine the light through the night

to the world I must belong

there is a virgin Bride, burning the midnight oil
