Devotional Poem:  Have You Any Room for Jesus

Have you any room for Jesus,

He who bore your load of sin?

As He knocks and asks admission,

Sinner, will you let Him in?

Room for Jesus, King of glory!

Hasten now, His word obey;

Swing the heart’s door widely open,

Bid Him enter while you may.

Devotional Poem:  Unexpected Messiah

He wasn’t what they expected,

But surely was prophesied;

Not welcomed as Messiah

By those with blinded eyes;

But to the ones who understood,

The Babe was God in man;

He was the One they’d waited for,

Their sacrificial Lamb.
