No Room At The Inn

5     No Room At The Inn (Luke 2.7)

D

There are people,

In this world today,

C                       

Like the innkeeper,

                  Dm

Mouthing solemn words,

Chorus:

        Dm                             C

"No Room, No room at the inn,

          Dm

For Jesus!"

Dm

Some live for themselves,

No-one but themselves,

                C

Drifting with the tide ,

              Dm

No love blooms inside

Chorus:

Dm

Some are racing,

Round and round in vain,

        C

On a roundabout,

              Dm

Built on greed and gain.

Chorus:

Dm

For some people

T'is a season,

                    C

Screaming emptiness,

                 Dm

Tears of bitterness,

Final chorus:

D                         Em

    No room for Jesus,

A                 D

No room at all,

             G              Em              Em/A

As the Lord of all life comes to call.

D                          Em         A               D

Don't keep him standing, outside your door,

              G                            E                A

For in Christmas there's a Saviour for us all

            D   G,          D       G             D

Make room, ~  Make room,  ~   Make room
