Do You Have Room?
This is the first real song I ever wrote, and the first song I published online. I wrote it as a Christmas gift for my family, and never expected that anyone else would ever hear it. But my dad kept asking, “have you done anything with that song?” Eventually, I pulled it out of the drawer and submitted it to a Christian songwriting competition. To my surprise, it won! But I didn’t have plans to do anything else with it.
For months after my dad passed away, I kept hearing him say, “have you done anything with that song?” So, I put together a video with the recording of this song and made my first YouTube post. That’s where my journey began, with this song. I’m so glad I listened to my dad. I hope this song can be as meaningful to you and your loved ones as it has been to me and mine.

Lyrics
They journeyed far,
A weary pair;
They sought for shelter from
The cold night air.
Someplace where she could
Lay her head,
Where she could give her Babe
A quiet bed.
Was there no room?
No corner there?
In all the town a spot
Someone could spare?
Was there no soul come to their aid?
A stable bare was where
The family stayed.
Do you have room for the Savior,
And do you seek Him anew?
Have you a place for the One who lived
And died for you?
Are you as humble as a shepherd boy,
Or as wise as men of old?
Would you have come that night?
Would you have sought the light?
Do you have room?
A star arose,
A wondrous light;
A sign from god this was
The Holy night.
And yet so few
Would go to see
The Babe who came
To rescue you and me.
This Child divine
Is now a King.
The gift of life to all the world
He brings;
And all mankind
He saves from doom,
But on the night for Him there was
No room.
Will you come tonight?
Will you seek the light?
Do you have room?
