Representative Text

1 You always have room in your sin-loving heart
For pleasures that stain and debase;
But still in your life Christ is taking no part—
No room for the Giver of grace.

Refrain:
No room no room,
As you the world go through!
Some day you may come to the portal of home
And find there’s no room for you!

2 You always have room for both envy and greed,
And dreams of position and pow’r;
But none for the Savior, the friend that you need,—
Not even for one little hour. [Refrain]

3 The things that you love all are passing away,
The risk you are running is great!
For, when you have room for the Savior, some day,
O soul, you may find it too late! [Refrain]
