Ten Maidens – v4

Five of ten maidens enter by the narrow gate
through the gate of Jesus, the bridegroom, the Christ;
The rest are caught asleep, unprepared
their lamps empty, without any oil.
In the dark, when He comes,
as a thief in the night.

Eternal vigilance, a price to pay
for keys to the kingdom, the golden ticket;
Waiting in faith for the call of the trumpet
our wicks trimmed,
our lamps full of oil.
The Bridegroom coming in Glory
ready for the happily ever after.
