"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."

"Oil in My Lamp"

Although there's not too much in the lyrics to indicate this, "Oil in My Lamp" is based on the Parable of the Ten Virgins in Matthew 25:1-13.
