Rivers & Robots' song is a prayerful plea for spiritual renewal and readiness for Christ's return. The lyrics use imagery of gathering wood and filling lamps with oil, alluding to the parable of the ten virgins, to express a desire to remain vigilant and passionate for God during a season of waiting. The singer asks God to awaken them from spiritual slumber and fill their heart with divine fire, longing to burn with devotion. The song conveys a confident hope in God's promised coming, likened to rain, and a return to God as their first love.

Oh Lord would You open the heavens

Oh Lord come and make all things new

I will keep watching and praying

As my soul longs only for You


So I?m gathering wood for the fire

I?m filling my lamp with the oil

Oh Lord in the season of waiting

Let my heart burn only for You


Wake me up from my slumber God

Fill my heart with Your fire God

I want to burn

I want to burn for You

Wake me up from my slumber God

Fill my heart with Your fire God

I want to burn

I want to burn for You


I know You will come like You promised

I know You will come like the rain

So I will keep watching and praying

As my soul longs only for You


So I?m gathering wood for the fire

I?m filling my lamp with the oil

Oh Lord in the season of waiting

Let my heart burn only for You

Oh, let my heart burn only for You


I return to You

?Cause You are my first love
