Referencia Biblica: Mateo 25:1-13

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

(Coro)
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

"Aceite De Medianoche"

Esperamos desde el día que el ascendió.
El dijo que volvería.
Algunos piensan que pasara tanto tiempo...
Algunos creen que saben cuando será.
Vivimos como si no hubiera un mañana;
esperamos con nuestras lámparas de aceite.
Velamos hasta la medianoche,
el momento en que cese nuestra labor,
cuando suene la trompeta y llegue el esposo.

(Coro)
La boda será tan regia...
así que tenemos que seguir siendo fieles,
porque nuestros pies dejaran la tierra
cuando encendamos el aceite de medianoche,
cuando encendamos el aceite de medianoche.

Algunos esperan desde lo alto de la montaña,
lejos del mundo que esta allá abajo.
Algunos traen aceite y están listos.
Algunas lámparas se apagaran mientras esperan,
se quedaran vacías, sin aceite, quedaran abandonadas.
¿Estarán llenas nuestras lámparas en la segunda venida?

Cuando el Esposo llegue, escucharemos el llamado.
