Matthew 25:1-13<\/b>\u00a0\u201cAt that time the kingdom of heaven will be like\u00a0ten virgins who took their lamps\u00a0and went out to meet the bridegroom.\u00a02\u00a0Five of them were foolish and five were wise.\u00a03\u00a0The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them.\u00a04\u00a0The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps.\u00a05\u00a0The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. 6\u00a0\u201cAt midnight the cry rang out: \u2018Here\u2019s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!\u2019\u00a0 7\u00a0\u201cThen all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.\u00a08\u00a0The foolish ones said to the wise, \u2018Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.\u2019 9\u00a0\u201c\u2018No,\u2019 they replied, \u2018there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.\u2019 10\u00a0\u201cBut while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet.\u00a0And the door was shut.\u00a0 11\u00a0\u201cLater the others also came. \u2018Lord, Lord,\u2019 they said, \u2018open the door for us!\u2019\u00a0 12\u00a0\u201cBut he replied, \u2018Truly I tell you, I don\u2019t know you.\u2019\u00a0 13\u00a0\u201cTherefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.<\/i><\/p>\n
Look up, Look\u00a0out<\/p>\n
Look and see,<\/p>\n
Look, look, look,<\/p>\n
All of you that love him,<\/p>\n
Look, search!<\/p>\n
Can’t you see Him?<\/p>\n
Can\u2019t you hear Him?<\/p>\n
He calls from without,<\/p>\n
He calls from within,<\/p>\n
His voice is in the cries,<\/p>\n
His spoon is in the cauldron,<\/p>\n
Are you ready?<\/p>\n
Are you ready?<\/p>\n
Oh everyone,<\/p>\n
Be ready.<\/p>\n
\n
Soon,<\/p>\n
Very soon,<\/p>\n
Comes the day of the double-sided sword.<\/p>\n
For some the way is opened,<\/p>\n
Some will be cut and bleed.<\/p>\n
\n
Be ready.<\/p>\n
Be looking.<\/p>\n
See him coming.<\/p>\n
\n
There He is,<\/p>\n
We will sing,<\/p>\n
Even louder.<\/p>\n
\n
Look and see,<\/p>\n
Be ready,<\/p>\n
Be ready!<\/p>\n
