HAVE YOU ANY ROOM FOR JESUS

This hymn has an unknown original source, but was adapted by Daniel W. Whittle. It is so poignant – how could any rational person resist the call of the King of Glory? It is a time limited offer for the Spirit of God will not always strive with man… I cannot imagine trading a relationship with God for transitory and uncertain options when committed to this world system…

Have you any room for Jesus, He who bore your load of sin?

As He knocks and asks admission, Sinner, will you let Him in?

 

Refrain:  Room for Jesus, King of Glory! Hasten now, His Word obey.

            Swing the heart’s door widely open; Bid Him enter while you may.

 

Room for pleasure, room for business; But, for Christ, the Crucified,
Not a place that He can enter, In the heart for which He died?  

[to Refrain]

 

Have you any room for Jesus, As in grace He calls again?

O today is time accepted, Later you may call in vain.  

[to Refrain]

 

Room and time now give to Jesus; Soon will pass God’s day of grace -
Soon your heart left cold and silent, And your Savior’s pleading cease. 

[to Refrain]

 

(optional choral ending)
Swing the heart's door widely open; 

Bid Him enter while you may, while you may.
