Lyrics

Keep Your Lamp Trimmed and Burnin’

Instrumental lead in…

Chorus:
Keep your lamp trimmed and burnin’
Keep your lamp trimmed and burnin’
Keep your lamp trimmed and burnin’
Ooh… See what the Lord has done

Verse One:
Sister don't get worried
Don't get worried
Brother don’t get worried
For the work is almost done

Chorus:
Keep your lamp trimmed and burnin’
Keep your lamp trimmed and burnin’
Keep your lamp trimmed and burnin’
Oh… See what the Lord has done

Verse Two:
Heaven's journey
Is almost over
Almost over
And we’ll see what the Lord has done

Chorus:
Keep your lamp trimmed and burnin’
Keep your lamp trimmed and burnin’
Keep your lamp trimmed and burnin’
Ooh… See what the Lord has done
Instrumental break…on the verse

Chorus:
Keep your lamp trimmed and burnin’
Keep your lamp trimmed and burnin’
Keep your lamp trimmed and burnin’
Ooh… See what the Lord has done

Verse Four:
People don’t get worried
Don’t get worried
Don’t get worried
For the work is almost done

Chorus:
Keep your lamp trimmed and burnin’
Keep your lamp trimmed and burnin’
Keep your lamp trimmed and burnin’
Ooh… See what the Lord has done


Chorus:
Keep your lamp trimmed and burnin’
Keep your lamp trimmed and burnin’
Keep your lamp trimmed and burnin’
Ooh… See what the Lord has done
See what the Lord has done
See what the Lord
Has done…
