Midnight Oil Lyrics - Petra

Words and music by Bob Hartman 

Based on Matthew 25: 1-13 

We wait since the day He ascended 

He said He would come again 

Some think it will be such a long time 

Some they the know just when 

We live like there's no tomorrow 

We wait with out lamps of oil 

We watch for the midnight hour 

The day we cease our toil 

When the trumpet sounds and the bridegroom comes

(Chorus) 

The wedding's gonna be so royal 

So we gotta keep staying loyal 

'Cause our feet are gonna leave this soil 

When we burn the midnight oil 

When we burn the midnight oil

Some wait from the top of the mountain 

Away from the world below 

Some work while there's still a harvest 

No rest when there's seed to sow 

We go out to wait for the bridegroom 

Some bring oil of readiness 

Some lamps will be burned out waiting 

Left out in their emptiness 

Will our lamps be full at parousia? 

When the bridegroom comes we will hear the call
