111. Make Room Within for Jesus

1 O heart of trouble, care and grief,
Make room within for Jesus;
For he alone can give relief;
Make room within for Jesus.

Refrain:
Make room! make room!
Make room within for Jesus!
He’s the truest, sweetest, strongest Friend,
He’ll keep you to the end.

2 Discouraged one, there’s help for you;
Make room within for Jesus;
Both hope and courage he’ll renew;
Make room within for Jesus. [Refrain]

3 O weary soul, if seeking rest,
Make room within for Jesus;
The rest he gives is far the best;
Make room within for Jesus. [Refrain]

4 O brother, nearing sin’s dark goal,
Make room within for Jesus;
He even yet can save your soul;
Make room within for Jesus. [Refrain]
