From Paul: This was actually
a song that I was asked to write for a Christmas program at the
church that I attend. It is taken from the point of view of the
innkeeper during the birth of Jesus, and that had he known who
Jesus was going to be, probably would have given him his room.
It was an interesting spin for me on a traditional Christmas
story.
I could
have given Him my room
I am the keeper of this place
That special birth in the manger
Jesus is his name
The crowds were gathered and the streets were full
But not like any other day
The very moment that this child was born
The world would change.
I could
have given Him my room
Instead of the stable where he laid
The King of Kings and Lord of Lords
Sleeping on the hay
As many traveled just to see his face
And raise their voice in sacred hymn
The only thought that was on my mind
I should have let him in.
Sweet Jesus
let me feel your light
Shining through the darkest night
Like the star that leads the way to you
Lead me where I値l find the truth
I値l be the
Keeper of Your Love
The gift from God above
I値l be the
Keeper of your Love
The gift from God above.
Would you
have given him your room
Would you have just done what I致e done
Find the place for him in your life
The only begotten son
Cause even though it happened so long ago
The meaning is still the same
He was born to give us life
And Jesus is his name.
Sweet Jesus
let us feel your light
Shining through the darkest night
Like the star that leads the way to you
Lead us where we値l find the truth
We値l be the
Keeper of Your Love
The gift from God above
We値l be the
Keeper of your Love
The gift from God.
We値l be the
Keeper of your Love
The gift from God above. |
