Do You Have Room?

Before the New Year Begins and the Christmas decorations come down, I have one more song to share. Last night I sat to reflect on what would be my gift to Christ this year. How can I make more room for Him in my heart and life this year?

My heart is full to overflowing when I think of the many gifts He gives to me, a life full of love with amazing family and friends (old and new)! The greatest gift I have is the knowledge that He lives and because of His life, death, and resurrection, I have hope. The more I turn my life, heart and will over to Him, the happier I am. I found this great song this year and want to share it with anyone who will listen. When I listen to or sing sacred music, read scriptures, pray, visit sacred places, help others, or spend quality time with loved ones, I feel at peace. I feel at home. It's hard to explain. I believe it is the love of God I feel. His perfect love that I knew so very personally before I began this journey here on Earth. When I feel this joy and love, I wish I could share it with everyone. So I hope this new year some of you will let me share some more music that touches my heart. Maybe it will bring some peace to you too...

This world has so much unrest, sorrow, anger, and pain. Yet the light of Christ can heal all wounds and bring peace to all. If only the world could make room for Him... He's at the door, we just have to let Him in.



Do You Have Room?
They journeyed far, a weary pair;
They sought for shelter from the cold night air.
Some place where she could lay her head,
Where she could give her Babe a quiet bed.

Was there no room? No corner there?
In all the town a spot someone could spare?
Was there no soul come to their aid?
A stable bare was where the family stayed.

Do you have room for the Savior? And do you seek Him anew?
Have you a place for the One who lived and died for you?
Are you as humble as a shepherd boy, or as wise as men of old?
Would you have come that night? Would you have sought the light?
Do you have room?

A star arose, a wondrous light,
A sign from God -- this was the holy night,
And yet so few would go to see
The Babe who came to rescue you and me.

This Child divine is now a King.
The gift of life to all the world He brings,
And all mankind He saves from doom,
But on that night, for Him, there was no room.

Do you have room for the Savior? And do you seek Him anew?
Have you a place for the One who lived and died for you?
Are you as humble as a shepherd boy, or as wise as men of old?
Would you have come that night? Would you have sought the light?
Do you have room?

Will you come tonight? Will you seek the light?
Do you have room?
