Still there is room

Representative Text

1 There is room in the love of the Father above,
For ev’ry lost sinner astray;
For the blood of his Son has redeemed ev’ry one,
And now there is nothing to pay.

Refrain:
Room, room, still there is room,
For the sinfulest and unworthiest;
Room, room, still there is room,
There’s room in God’s kingdom for all.
Room, room, still there is room,
Come, ye weary ones! come, ye burdened ones!
Room, room, plenty of room,
There’s room in God’s kingdom for all.

2 There is room in God’s grace for the whole human race,
A welcome for you and for me;
Now the Spirit invites and all heaven unites,
Proclaiming, salvation is free. [Refrain]

3 There’s room ‘round the throne where our loved ones are gone;
With the heav’nly harpers they stand;
They’re apart in the song with the glorified throng,
A home at the Father’s right hand. [Refrain]
