I see the storm clouds gatherin',
The wind beginnin' to howl.
I know the judgement's comin',
And I'm not sure if I'll be around.
(Chorus)
So I'm trimmin' my lamps,
Makin' sure they're burnin' bright.
I don't want to be caught in the darkness,
When the storm comes and the night begins to bite.
(Verse 2)
I've been listenin' to the prophets,
And they're all sayin' the same thing.
Repent and be ready,
For the time of the Lord is near.
(Chorus)
So I'm trimmin' my lamps,
Makin' sure they're burnin' bright.
I don't want to be caught in the darkness,
When the storm comes and the night begins to bite.
(Verse 3)
I know I'm not perfect,
And I've made a lot of mistakes.
But I'm thankful for His grace,
And I'm trustin' in Him to make things right.
(Bridge)
I don't know when He's comin',
But I'm ready to go.
I've got my lamps trimmed and burnin',
And I'm watchin' for the sign of His return.
(Chorus)
So I'm trimmin' my lamps,
Makin' sure they're burnin' bright.
I don't want to be caught in the darkness,
When the storm comes and the night begins to bite.
(Outro)
I'm lookin' forward to that day,
When I see Jesus face to face.
I'll throw down my lamp and sing His praises,
In that glorious, holy place.
