Jesus said that in the midnight hour, [Am] there'll be virgins who hear the great cry
[D]
Behold he cometh, rise and trim your lamps, [Am] go and meet him, the [G] bridegroom is thine
But some discovered they were lacking [Am] the oil, they were empty with no light to see
So [D] I ask you dear Lord, [Em] come and fill me with your spirit, [Am] keep me burning for you is [D] my plea
I wanna [G] be burning, [C] burning the midnight oil
[G] [Bm] With my lamp all trimmed [Em] above me, a [Am] vessel full of the Holy [G] Ghost
I will shine the light [D] through the night, [Gm] to the word I must [C] belong
There [G] is a virgin bride, [Am] burning the [Em] midnight oil
[G]
[Ab] Sometimes I really get to wondering why, [Bbm] it's a struggle to get down and pray
I [Eb] feel the spirit of complacency, we're surrounded by the darkest days

I [Cm] am working day and night [Fm] with the one to hold the promise, [Bbm] it is time for us to [Db] rise and shine
I wanna [Ab] be burning, [Db] burning the [Ab] midnight [Ab] oil
[Cm] With my lamp all trimmed [Fm] above me, [Bbm] a vessel full of the [Eb] Holy Ghost
I [Ab] will shine the light [Eb] through the night, [Ebm] to the word I must [Db] belong
There [Ab] is a virgin bride, [Bbm] burning the midnight oil

[Gb] I [B] will shine the light [Gb] through the night, [Bm] to the word I must [E] belong
