Misty Edwards - Matthew 25 Lyrics

In that day,
The Kingdom of Heaven will be likened unto ten virgins, in that day
In that day.

All of them are waiting for the Bridegroom,
All of them are waiting and waiting and waiting
All of them have lamps and they're waiting and waiting and waiting, waiting and waiting
In the mundane, mundane, mundane, mundane
Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting?
And when the night falls, they fall asleep
Each and every one of them, they fall asleep.
In the mundane, mundane, mundane
Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting for the Bridegroom
Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, and they fall asleep.

In the midnight hour, a cry will be heard.
In the midnight hour, in the deepest, darkest, hour of history,
In the midnight hour.
For behold a deep, deep darkness will cover the earth.
In the midnight hour of history,
It will be the darkest hour of history, of history.
A deep darkness will cover the earth.
Like a dark, dark, darkness that could even be heard.

And a deep, deep darkness will cover the earth.

But in the midnight hour a cry will be heard.
A cry, a cry, a cry.
Behold the Bridegroom, go out to meet Him.
Behold the Bridegroom, go out to meet Him.
Behold the Bridegroom, go out to meet Him.
Behold the Bridegroom.
Awake, awake oh sleepers, awake, awake, the hour is here,

Awake, awake oh sleepers, and behold,
In the middle of the night a cry will be heard.

Oh, and the ten virgins, they will awake from their slumber.
They'll be scurrying around into the streets,
They'll be shining their lamps, going out to meet Him, going out to meet Him.
It's the day, it's the day, it's the day that they've been waiting for
The day that they've been waiting for, the wedding is just around the corner now

Just around the corner now.
And they'll be running around, scurrying around, getting ready to go out
Finally, finally, finally, finally, finally, finally.

But in that day, says the Lord, the Kingdom will be just like this
And in that day, in that day, in that day,
Five, five will be wise and five, five will be foolish.
Wisdom and folly defined by the Master
Wisdom and folly defined, defined, defined.
For the foolish, so busy shining their lamps, forgot to get the oil.

And the clock now, now, now is ticking, it's ticking,
And the clock now, now, now is ticking, it's ticking
And it's the middle of the night and the cry has been resounding
And now they're scurrying around, round, round.

But the foolish are trying so hard to get their lamps lit.
But they have no oil.
So preoccupied, so preoccupied.

They've been building a ministry, planning and scheming in all of the things,
But they forgot reality, relationship,
They forgot to get the oil on the inside of the lamp.
For the oil comes from the inside out and they forgot it.
Now like empty, empty tombs they forgot it.

Now the five, the five who were wise, they had oil.
For even though they slept, their hearts were awake.
They didn't get weighed down by the mundane or distracted by the lamps.
They had the first things, first things, first things, first.
They had oil from the inside out.

And the five who are foolish will say to the five who are wise in that day,
O help us, help us!
Give us some of your reality, give us some of your intimacy
Give us some of the oil in your lamp,

But it doesn't work that way. It can't work that way.
And the five who are wise will say to the foolish,
Go buy oil, for yourself, you have to take the time to know Him for yourself
They say, go buy oil, I counsel you buy it now
Go buy oil, I cannot give it to you
You have to go buy oil, for yourself, I cannot give you mine
For only what is real will burn inside, burn inside.

In that day the five who are wise will go to meet the Bridegroom in the feast of the wedding.
Oh, but the five who are foolish will cry.
So I tell you now, while there's still time,
Go buy oil before it's too late.
I counsel you now, you have a name that you're alive, but you're dead on the inside.
So I, counsel you buy gold, refined in the fire.
For you have a lamp that you're alive, but you're dead in the inside.
But there's still time, just a little bit, only a little bit of time.
What are you gonna do with that time, with that time, with that time, with the time?
Time, time, time is ticking by, and the Bridegroom is coming, He's coming, He's coming,
Are you ready to meet Him, to meet Him, to meet Him?
Will you even recognize Him?
So I tell you now, go buy oil,
I counsel you buy gold, refined by the fire.
Take the time to live from the inside out.
Take the time to be acquainted with the Holy Spirit and the Word.
Take the time to buy oil before it's too late.
For wisdom will be justified, wisdom will be justified.
In that day, in that day, in that day.
