Lyrics

Is there any room for Je­sus?
He who died on Cal­va­ry,
He who stand­eth, knock­ing, wait­ing,
Pleading with you ten­der­ly.

Refrain

Room for Je­sus, room for Je­sus,
Let Him in your heart to­day,
Throwing ev­ery win­dow op­en,
O re­ceive Him while you may.

We have room for world­ly plea­sures,
Cares of life crowd ev­ery day,
And our hearts and minds are bur­dened
While the Lord is turned away.

Refrain

Will you not make room for Je­sus,
For the Christ, the Cru­ci­fied?
Is there not some place to en­ter
In the soul for which He died?

Refrain

Room and time and thought for Je­sus,
Hasten to ac­cept His grace
Ere the heart grows cold and care­less,
And His plead­ing voice shall cease.
