| Added by crosby3145, 27 Oct 2021 #448 in Soul-Stirring Songs & Hymns (1972 ed.), this hymn is located right in the middle of the Christmas songs. Yet it's not really a Christmas song any more than One Day is - the only reference to Christmas is the second verse. It's really more of a challenge to the Christian, to make sure that Christ is first in your life--not fifth or sixth, 63rd, or somewhere way lower than He should be. I hope you enjoy! 1. Is Christ crowded out of your busy life With the toiling that each day brings? With the strain and stress of the cares that press You’ve no time for the King of kings. 2. “No room in the inn” for the Christ-Child blest, “In a manger so low He lay”; In the hearts of men o’er and o’er again, There’s no room for Him still today. 3. “The foxes have holes and the birds have nests, “But nowhere for His head divine “Had the Son of Man,” should He come again Find a place in your heart and mine. 4. The hearts of the ones whom He died to save Is the home which He seeks today; By His life bought yet He is crowded out, And “away with Him,” still they say. 5. There’s coming a day in the great sometime If for Christ you have never room, You will knock and wait at the pearly gate, Crowded out there will be your doom. Chorus: Crowded out! Crowded out! You’ve no time for His service, you say; While for pleasure and business you always have time, Is Christ crowded out today? | |||
