Keep Your Lamps Lit (The Watchful Servants & The Faithful and Evil Servant)

[Intro]
Keep your lamps lit.
Keep your eyes from closing.
No one knows the hour,
But the Master is coming.

[Verse 1]
Keep your belt tight, keep your lamp burning bright,
For the Master may be coming in the middle of the night.
Standing at the doorway, waiting for His call,
Ready when He knocks, prepared to give your all.

Like servants at a wedding, waiting for their King,
Listening for the footsteps, ready for anything.
Don't let your eyes grow heavy, don't let your fire fade,
The hour is unknown, but the promise has been made.

Blessed are the servants who are watching when He comes,
Who are ready at the doorway when the journey's finally done.
He'll have them take their places, and serve them at His table,
For the faithful who are waiting, The reward will be no fable.

[Pre-Chorus]
You don't know the hour,
You don't know the way,
So don't waste the time
You've been given each day!

[Chorus]
When the Master comes, will He find us ready?
Will our lamps still burn? Will our hands be steady?
Will He find us serving, standing in the light?
Faithful in the daytime, watchful through the night!

Don't grow weary, don't fall asleep,
The promises of God are ours to keep.
Live like He's coming, let your faith be strong,
When the Master comes, we'll be where we belong!

[Verse 2]
A faithful steward was entrusted with the care,
To feed the Master's household, to serve with love and prayer.
He didn't waste the moment, didn't turn away,
He gave the others what they needed every single day.

The Master found him faithful, doing what was right,
And gave him greater charge before His very sight.
For the one who serves with honor, with a heart that's oh so true,
Will be entrusted with more, than he was ever called to do.

It's not about the title, it's not about the throne,
It's about the way you serve, when you're standing there all alone.
The Master sees the labor, the choices that you chased,
And nothing done in faithfulness will ever be misplaced.

Don't grow weary, don't fall asleep,
The promises of God are ours to keep.
Live like He's coming, let your faith be strong,
When the Master comes, we'll be where we belong!

[Verse 3]
Another servant thought the Master stayed away,
Said there's plenty of time, I'll do it another day.
He turned against his brothers, let his selfishness take hold,
Abused the ones entrusted, let his heart grow hard and cold.

He ate and drank in pleasure, abandoned what was right,
Forgot the Master's warning, lived only for the night.
But the Master came returning when he least expected Him,
And the servant faced the judgment for the way he lived in sin.

Don't mistake His patience for permission to rebel,
Don't trade away your calling for the pleasures that may swell.
The Master sees the hidden, the faithful and the lost,
And every heart will answer, when we stand before the cross.

[Bridge]
To whom much has been given,
Much more will be required.
Every gift, and every calling,
Every heart tested by fire.

If you know the Master's will,
Then walk in what is true.
For the more that He entrusts,
The more He asks of you.

No one knows the hour,
No one knows the day.
So be faithful in the waiting,
Don't throw your life away!

[Final Chorus]
When the Master comes, will He find us ready?
Will our lamps still burn? Will our hands be steady?
Will He find us serving, standing in the light?
Faithful in the daytime, watchful through the night!

Don't grow weary, don't fall asleep,
The promises of God are ours to keep.
Live like He's coming, let your faith be strong,
When the Master comes, we'll be where we belong!

[Outro]
Keep your lamps burning.
Keep your hearts prepared.
Be faithful with what you've been given.
For the Son of Man is coming at an hour that's unshared.

[Final Spoken Word]
Will He find you faithful?
Stay ready.
For the Master is coming.
