Petra Lyrics for Song: Midnight Oil
 Lyrics for Album: 40th Anniversary [2012]
 
 
 
 27162>We wait since the day He ascended
 
 He said He would come again
 
 Some think it will be such a long time
 
 Some they the know just when
 
 We live like there's no tomorrow
 
 We wait with out lamps of oil
 
 We watch for the midnight hour
 
 The day we cease our toil
 
 When the trumpet sounds and the bridegroom comes
 
 
 
 (Chorus)
 
 The wedding's gonna be so royal
 
 So we gotta keep staying loyal
 
 'Cause our feet are gonna leave this soil
 
 When we burn the midnight oil
 
 When we burn the midnight oil
 
 
 
 Some wait from the top of the mountain
 
 Away from the world below
 
 Some work while there's still a harvest
 
 No rest when there's seed to sow
 
 We go out to wait for the bridegroom
 
 Some bring oil of readiness
 
 Some lamps will be burned out waiting
 
 Left out in their emptiness
 
 Will our lamps be full at parousia?
 
 
 
 When the bridegroom comes we will hear the call
 
 27162>
