I stand at the door and knock: If any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me.
Revelation 3:20

Have you room for the King,
Should He come today?
Could you bid Him to enter in?
Would your garments be white,
Could you to Him say,
I am ready and free from sin
?
Refrain
Have you room for the King,
Yes, room for the King,
Should He call for your spirit today?
Could you say, I am Thine,
Yes, wholly am Thine,
And walking in the King’s highway.
There was never a mansion
So bright and blest,
There was never a place so fair
As the one where the King
Has become a guest;
This glory we all may share.
Refrain
Have you room in your heart
For the King? I say;
Is it open to His command?
He is waiting to show
You the perfect way,
The way to the better land.
Refrain
