Author: Rev. Johnson Oatman, Jr. Hymnal: Light in the Valley #6 (1898) First Line: O soul, so far away from God Refrain First Line: There's room for you, there's room for you Lyrics: 1 O soul, so far away from God,
Who long the paths of sin have trod,
No longer wander in the cold,
The shepherd wants you in his fold.
Chorus:
There's room for you, there' room for you,
'Tis not confined to just a few;
God bids you come, his word is true,
Come, brother, there is room for you.
2 Although you long on husks have fed,
The banquet table now is spread;
Here's milk and wine, and honey, too,
Come, brother, there is room for you. [Chorus]
3 You've wanted in the church of God
That Christ hath purchased with his blood;
'Tis broader far than creed or pew,
So, brother, there is room for you. [Chorus]
4 And when your cares on earth are past,
You'll find a home in heav'n at last;
You'll hear God say, if you are true,
"Well done, well done, there's room for you." [Chorus] Topics: Benevolence; Heaven; Revival Languages: English Tune Title: [O soul, so far away from God]
There's Room for You
