Five of ten enter by the narrow gate
the rest are caught asleep, unprepared
lamps empty, without their oil
in the dark, when He comes
a thief in the night
Eternal vigilance, a price to pay
for keys to the kingdom
the golden ticket
Waiting in faith
the call of the trumpet
the bridegroom in glory
ready for the happily ever after
