Cedarmont Kids perform a lively children's version of the classic gospel song "Give Me Oil In My Lamp." The song uses the metaphor of oil in a lamp to represent the Holy Spirit's presence, asking God to keep the believer's faith burning brightly. It also prays for joy, love, and peace in the heart, leading to singing, serving, and resting in God. The repeated chorus of "Sing hosanna to the King of Kings" directs praise to Jesus. This simple, repetitive tune is often used in Sunday school settings to teach children about depending on God's Spirit and living a life of praise.
