Crowded Out

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Refrain 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?
