I need oil for the midnight hour
     I need oil for the bridegroom
I need oil in the midnight hour
     I need oil in the darkness
     I need oil to welcome the bridegroom
     I need oil for the wedding day

So pour it out, pour it out, pour it out
As I gaze on you
As I contemplate you
As I experience your presence
I am renewed
I open up, so I am filled

Your presence brings
     What I need to pour out on you
Your presence brings
     What I need to shine like you
My eye single
     I am changed
     I am empowered to love you
     I am equipped to endure

My love won't grow cold
     In the darkness of darkness
Bitter roots have no room
     In the heart smitten by you
No compromise will tempt me
     For your covenant of love
          Has claimed me
Here I overcome
     For all I see is you

I won't miss an opportunity
     To encounter you
I won't miss an opportunity 
     To be with you
I am aware that you are here
I will not forget you
And I will always run back to your gaze
