Precious Oil For Your Lamp
Ringing ringing the bells are ringing
behind in the party they're singing such singing
the procession is leaving are you bringing oh bringing
some oil precious oil for your lamp
some oil precious oil for your lamp
It began years ago when you walked by the water
the waves were a churning for the wisdom that sought her
but you didn't understand that you couldn't have bought er
all alone you've no oil in your lamp
all alone you've no oil in your lamp
Now the rush is on to the nearest market place
and you're looking for the sweetness of amazing grace
wishing and hoping for any open place
where they'll be sweet oil for your lamp
where they'll be sweet oil for your lamp
As the darkness descends and night closes in
all the shops say they're closed not the time to begin
your light is still empty where the hell have you been
seeking something but not oil for your lamp
seeking something but not oil for your lamp
I heard a nice story bout a woman like most
who had realized one day that her life took a coast
received an invitation in the afternoon post
she went out to get oil for her lamp
she went out to get oil for her lamp
Then she waited some days till the groom wandered by
and he smiled so nice looked her straight in the eye
said we're leaving right now light your lamp hold it high
filled with oil plenty oil for her lamp
filled with oil plenty oil for her lamp
There will be a celebration for the wedding party
great food jazzy drinks even clothes will be free
b y o means your light for that awesome journey
filled with oil precious oil for your lamp
filled with oil precious oil for your lamp
