"Oil in My Lamp"

Originally, I noted that "Oil in My Lamp" is based on the Parable of the Ten Virgins in Matthew 25:1-13.  That passage is still applicable, but there's a stronger resemblance between the repeated line "Give me oil in my lamp; keep me burnin', burnin', burnin'" and Luke 12:35, where Jesus tells His disciples, "Stay dressed for action and keep your lamps burning."
