Room for Jesus (Chapman)

lyricist: Anzentia Chapman, 1896
Composer: John Tenney

Yes

there is room for Je­sus

Within this con­trite heart;

Dear Sav­ior

wait no long­er

But grace di­vine im­part.

Room

O bless­èd Sav­ior

In my poor wan­der­ing heart;

Come in and reign for­ev­er

New life and peace im­part.

Yes

there is room for Je­sus—

The Guest of heav’n­ly birth;

His life He gave a ran­som

For all the sons of earth.

Yes

there is room for Je­sus

Oh

en­ter

Lord and reign;

The King and migh­ty Con­quer­or

O’er death and sin and pain.

I’ll sing aloud the prais­es

Of Him who saves from doom;

Dear Lord

thro’ com­ing ages

My heart shall give Thee room.
