How often don’t you hear someone say, “I just don’t have time”? For the average person life has always been and continues to be almost always busy.
In all this flurry we do need to stop and really weigh things up. Someone said we need to sort out the urgent (often ultimately unimportant) things from the important things. That’s worth thinking about. We need to nail down our priorities.
This song was written specifically for the crazy Christmas period when the birth of Jesus tends to so easily get lost in a lot of clutter, but the words apply at any time. The only way you can fit Jesus in your life is to empty out some of the irrelevant and non-eternal stuff. We really do need to make room.
Rom 12:1-2, Prov. 11:28, Jer 17:5-8, Matt 6:19-21, 24, Phil 3:7-9, 2 Cor 4:18.
Chorus
Make room for the Saviour, the Saviour is coming.
Make room for the Saviour, the Saviour is near.
Make room in your life and your heart for the Saviour.
Make room for Jesus is here.
Make room for Jesus is here.
Make room for hope
Make room for Joy
Make room for the love of the Lord.
Make room for peace
Make room for life.
Make room, make room.
Chorus
Bridge
In the midst of the clutter of life make room for the Lord to come in
Keep your eye on what matters
Keep your mind on the Word
Keep your heart on what counts
Keep your focus on God
Let the Spirit move in you
Make Jesus your life
Make room for the Lord to come in.
Chorus
Make room for love
The love of the Father
The love that does not count the cost
Love unrestrained
Love unconditional
A baby, a manger, a cross.
Chorus X2
