No Room At The Inn

Chorus:
Would you open the door?
Would you feed and clothe the poor?
Take a traveler to warm by your fire?
May you find what you seek
May your heart be at peace
May you sing your song in heaven’s
Christmas choir

1.
There’s a knock at the door
Another needy soul for sure
Could be poor, ungrateful too

They can find another bed
I’ll just turn my head
She chose to be out in the cold


2.

The story begins
There’s no room at the inn
She’s traveled a cold, lonely trail

One thin blanket wrapped round
She carries the song
You could hear the first Christmas carol


3.
Would it matter if you knew
As winter winds blew
Who came to carol at your door
Mother and child
Little family cold outside
A king stands knocking at your door

4.
Let the gift of Christmas bless
Let your conscience easy rest
Share season’s joy all around
You may be the one
When your work is done
Make room at the inn for a song
