As virgins we must be wise and pure

As virgins we must be wise and pure

So single to You

Lord to grow and mature.

We’re going forth to meet You

our Bridegroom so sweet

Our touch with You

Jesus

must be intimate.

Lord

I love You above all

Watching hourly lest I fall.

We would buy the oil today.

Lord

prepare us

oh

get us ready!

Not only my lamp

Lord

but my vessel too

Redeeming the time to be filled up with You.

I’m going forth to meet You

my Bridegroom so dear.

I know then at midnight You’ll soon

Lord

appear.

Lord

make us ready at any cost

Or else at Your coming we’ll suffer great loss.

We don’t want to say

Lord

our lamp’s going out.

Then it is too late when we hear the great shout.

As virgins we’re loving and enjoying You

Always responding

You’re fresh and so new.

Our spirits You’re filling and soul saturating.

Our lamps and our vessels we surrender to You.
