Will You Be Ready?

Verse

Ten waitin'

Into the night

Lamps lit low

Everything right

Five had oil

Hearts of faith

Five just hoped

Their's would last the same

The hours dragged on

The light grew thin

As they wondered

When they'd see Him

Some hearts were calm

Some filled with doubt

But only He could know

When they'd hear the shout

Chorus

So Keep your lamp filled right

Be ready for that midnight cry

Cause you don't know the day or hour

When the Bridegroom will arrive

Will you have oil when darkness falls?

Will you be ready when He calls?

Don't let your fire fade tonight

Keep burnin'

Keep burnin'

Till the morning light

Verse

At midnight came

That cry so loud

Wake up and see

He's coming now!

The foolish saw

Their fire was dim

They'd waited too late

To be ready for Him

Give us yours

They pled in fear

The wise said no

The shops are near

Chorus

So Keep your lamp filled right

Be ready for that midnight cry

Cause you don't know the day or hour

When the Bridegroom will arrive

Will you have oil when darkness falls?

Will you be ready when He calls?

Don't let your fire fade tonight

Keep burnin'

Keep burnin'

Till the morning light

Bridge

While they went to buy the oil

That's when He showed

5 went in

And the door was closed

5 returned

Only to find

The one they called LORD cried

You were never mine

Chorus

Keep your lamps burning bright

Be ready for that midnight cry

Cause We don't know the day or hour

When the Bridegroom will arrive

Will we have oil when darkness falls?

Will we be ready when He calls?

Don't let your fire fade tonight

Keep burnin'

Keep burnin'

Till the morning light

Watch therefore

Watch and pray

You know not the hour or the day
