Praise & Worship, intercession, soaking in the presence of the Lord.
The music I write is from HIM, for HIM, and all about HIM! I was made to worship HIM!
Story behind the song
Proverbs 21:20
Precious treasure and oil stay in the home of the wise, but fools swallow them up.
Matthew 25
Common English Bible (CEB)
Parable of the ten young bridesmaids
25 “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten young bridesmaids who took their lamps and went out to meet the groom. 2 Now five of them were wise, and the other five were foolish. 3 The foolish ones took their lamps but didn’t bring oil for them. 4 But the wise ones took their lamps and also brought containers of oil.
5 “When the groom was late in coming, they all became drowsy and went to sleep. 6 But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Look, the groom! Come out to meet him.’
7 “Then all those bridesmaids got up and prepared their lamps. 8 But the foolish bridesmaids said to the wise ones, ‘Give us some of your oil, because our lamps have gone out.’
9 “But the wise bridesmaids replied, ‘No, because if we share with you, there won’t be enough for our lamps and yours. We have a better idea. You go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’ 10 But while they were gone to buy oil, the groom came. Those who were ready went with him into the wedding. Then the door was shut.
11 “Later the other bridesmaids came and said, ‘Lord, lord, open the door for us.’
12 “But he replied, ‘I tell you the truth, I don’t know you.’
13 “Therefore, keep alert, because you don’t know the day or the hour.
Lyrics
I am running hard after you.
I will listen and hear what you say.
I will follow and do as you do.
I will hear you and obey.
I will look for you my soon coming King
I'll be ready with oil in my lamp
awaiting the day you take me away
Can you hear that whisper in the wind?
Can you feel Holy Spirit is near?
I am burning
I am consumed
Holy Fire falling on me.
I am running hard afte ryou
i am listening and hearing you
I will follow and do as you do
I will trust and obey
I'll be ready. Take me away
I'll be waiting with oil in my lamp
