Lyrics
Verse
In my heart, There’s a cry
Insatiable desire
I yield to you, My God
In surrender I am pursuing You
Pre-Chorus
Blessed are those who thirst
For they shall be filled
Chorus
Fill my lamp with Holy Spirit oil
So that I can testify of you
Be a witness of Jesus Christ
Bridge
I want more
Of your fresh oil
You give more
Of your power
I long to see your power flow
’Till the whole world calls my Jesus their Lord
Final Chorus
Fill my lamp with Holy Spirit oil
Fill my lamp with Holy Spirit oil
I will go and testify of you
I’m a witness of Jesus Christ

Meaning & Inspiration
“Fresh Oil | Yahweh” is a prayer of surrender, spiritual thirst, and readiness for witness. The opening lines describe an unsatisfied desire for God and a willing pursuit that yields personal control. That hunger is immediately connected to Jesus’ blessing for those who thirst for righteousness, making the request to be filled more than a search for emotion; it becomes a plea for God to shape and sustain faithful life.
The lamp and oil imagery suggests dependence on the Holy Spirit for endurance and service. Rather than seeking power as an end in itself, the chorus links the Spirit’s filling with testimony about Jesus. The bridge widens that purpose further, longing for divine power to flow until people across the world confess Christ as Lord. This movement from surrender to filling and then to witness closely reflects the promise of power for Christ’s witnesses in Acts. The song therefore joins inward renewal with outward mission, presenting spiritual desire as preparation to speak of Jesus and serve his kingdom.
