Could you please help me out!
ReplyDeleteI need just the lyrics for “To the inn Joseph cane for lodging”. Thank you
To the inn Joseph came for lodging,
ReplyDeleteAt the sight of the fire he smiled,
They had travelled through the desert
Were cold and weary
And Mary was great with child.
There was no room,
There was no room,
No room in Bethlehem.
Like the inn, long ago, were many people,
Overcrowded with no room to spare.
They are full of their own dreams
And doings
And Jesus can't enter there.
Oh there's no room,
No room for Christ,
Though He knocks, they turn Him away.
Oh friend, are you listening may I ask you?
Have you room for Jesus today?
Have you room for Jesus today?
This was how I'd learned it, I've only heard the cantata once...40 years ago.
Hope this helps, we have included this in our church's collection of carols and Christmas songs. We practically sing this every Christmas.
After the words in the chorus no room in Bethlehem it says what wonder how amazing the story There was no room for them.
