KEEP OIL IN YOUR LAMP
MISSISSIPPI MASS CHOIR
CHORUS I
YES KEEP OIL KEEP OIL
IN YOUR LAMP IN YOUR LAMP
WHO KNOWS WHO KNOWS WHEN THE BRIDE GROOM COMETH
KEEP OIL KEEP OIL IN YOUR LAMP
NO MATTER NO MATTER WHAT THE PRICE YOU GOT O SACRIFICE
JUST AS SURE JUST AS SURE
FOR HE'S COMING FOR HE'S COMING
ONLY THE FATHER KNOWS ONLY THE FATHER KNOWS THE DAY
KEEP OIL KEEP OIL IN YOUR LAMP
FOR CHRIST IS FOR CHRIST IS ON HIS WAY
VERESE I
AT THE SUSPECTED HOUR, WE'RE GOING TO HEAR A SHOUT
BEHOLD THE BRIDE GROOM COMETH
TRIM YOUR LAMP AND GATHER ABOUT
GOING UP TO MEET HIM
THE WEDDING IS ABOUT TO BEGIN
IF YOUR LAMP, GOES OUT
YOU WANT BE ALOUD TO GO IN
CHORUS I
VERESE II
MOTHERS AND DAUGTHERS
FATHERS AND SONS
SISTERS AND BROTHERS
ENEMY AND FRIEND
YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT ONCE HE COME
THERE WILL BE NO OIL TO BORROW OR LEND
SEEK YE THE LORD WHILE HE MAY BE FOUND
ONCE THE WEDDING BEGIN
IF THE DOOR TO THE CHURCH WILL BE CLOSE
NEVER TO OPEN AGAIN
CHORUS II
YES KEEP YOUR LAMP KEEP YOUR LAMP TRIM BURING BRIGHT
WALKING WALKIN IN THE LIGHT
HOLD ON HOLD ON GOD UNCHANGING HANDS
WITH CHRIST WITH CHRIST MAKE A STAND
KEEP YOUR LAMP KEEP YOUR LAMP TRIM BURING BRIGHT
WALKING WALKIN IN THE LIGHT
HOLD ON HOLD ON GOD UNCHANGING HANDS
WITH CHRIST WITH CHRIST MAKE A STAND
CHORUS II
