Lyrics No Room - Colin Buchanan

Census time in Bethlehem town
Watch the people go by
Caesar Augustus say everbody jump
Everybody say, "Caesar, how high?"
Now who's that trampin' down the dusty road
Late in the afternoon
Better tell that fella that the lady on the donkey
Gonna have a little baby real soon

Well his name is Joseph
Her name is Mary
They're looking high and low
The time's running out and the inns are full
Is there any place left to go?
One last innkeeper points points down the alleyway
"I can't give you no bed,
The best I can do is offer to you
The hay in the animal shed."

There was
No room for the Prince of Peace
No room for the Son of Man
Some gonna slam that door on Jesus
Some gonna take his hand
So what about you?
What about me?
Will you welcome in the King
Or have you got
No room

Now bad King Herod met those wise men
The ones who came down from the east
Bad King Herod had a murderous plan
"When you find the King tell me"

Wise men worshipped Jesus
But that night in a dream God said
Hurry on down that road back home
King Herod wants Jesus dead

He's got
No room
For the Prince of Peace
No room for the Son of Man
Some gonna slam that door on Jesus
Some gonna take his hand
So what about you?
What about me?
Will you welcome in the King
Or have you got
No room

And now the proud and mighty said no to Jesus
While the poor and the lost said yes
He healed the sick
And he raised the dead
With the power of God to bless
He suffered and died then he rose to life
He said, "I'm comin' back again
Anyone now who's ashamed of me
That day I'll be ashamed of them..."

So
Make room for the Prince of Peace
Make room for the Son of Man
Don't go slammin' that door on Jesus
Trust him while you can
What about you?
What about me?
Will you welcome in the King
That's why I sing
Make room
