"Drop By Drop" Lyrics

A drop for an act of kindness,
A drop for a righteous deed;
Another drop is given
For helping those in need.

A drop of oil is added
For every time we care,
For every hour of selfless service,
For every humble prayer.

And when we wake at midnight
To go and meet the Lord,
Lamps lit by righteousness
Lead us to our reward.

Who has been foolish?
Who has been wise?
Who greets his coming
With hope in their eyes?
Who will be ready
When the great day arrives?
They with their lamps full,
They that are wise.

At His Second Coming,
Those who will abide
Have let His Holy Spirit
Be their constant guide.

A drop for an act of mercy,
A drop for a gift of love;
And so each drop is added
From a loving Source above.
A drop of oil is given
For every time we share,
For every thought of heaven,
For every humble prayer.
And when we wake at midnight
To go and meet the Lord,
Lamps lit by righteousness
Lead us to our reward.

Lamps lit by righteousness
Lead us to our reward.
