Matthew 25- Misty Edwards

"In that day the kingdom of heaven will be liken unto 10 virgins.
In that day all of them were waiting for the bridegroom.
All of them were waiting and waiting and waiting.
All of them have lamps and were waiting, waiting, waiting...
In the mundane, mundane, mundane

When the night falls they fall asleep
Each and everyone of them they fall asleep
In the mundane, mundane, mundane
Waiting, waiting, waiting for the bridegroom
And they fell asleep

In the night hour a cry will be heard
In the midnight hour
In the deepest darkest hour of history

For behold a deep deep darkness will cover the earth
In the midnight hour of history
It will be the darkest hour of history
Deep deep darkness will cover the earth
Like a dark dark darkness will clothe the land

For in the midnight hour a cry will be heard
And the 10 virgins will awake from their slumber
They'll be scurrying around their ministries
They'll be shining their lamps going out to meet Him
It's the day they've been waiting for
The wedding is just around the corner
They'll be running around scurrying around
Getting ready to go out finally

But in that day says the Lord
The kingdom will be just like this
And in that day five will be wise
And five will be foolish
Wisdom and folly defined by the Master

For the foolish so busy shining their lamps forgot to get the oil
And the clock is now ticking and it's the middle of the night
And the cry has been resounded
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
And in all of the things they've forgotten reality, relationship
They forgot to get the oil for the inside of the lamp.
For the oil comes from the inside out and they forgot it.
Like empty tombs they forgot it

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
They had the oil from the inside out

And the five that were foolish will say to the five who were wise in that day
"Oh help us, help us. Give us some of your reality. Give us some of your intimacy. Give us some of your oil in your lamp"
But it doesn't work that way. It can't work that way.

And the five that were 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 council you to 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 on the inside."

In that day the five that were wise will go to meet the bridegroom in the feast of the wedding
Oh but the five that were foolish -will cry

So I tell you now while there's still time
Go buy oil before it's too late I council you
Now you have a name but you're dead on the inside
So I warn you now

I council you buy gold refined in the fire
For you have a lamp that's your alive but you're dead on the inside

But there's still time just a little bit only a little bit
What are you going to do with that time?
Time is ticking by and the bridegroom is coming are you ready to meet Him?
Will you even recognize Him?

So I tell you now go buy oil
I council you buy gold refined in 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 in that day"
