Crowded Out

Is Christ crowded out of your busy life

With the toiling that each day brings?

with the strain and stress of the cards that press

You've no time for the King of kings.

"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.

"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 you heart and mine.

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.

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 you 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?

- Mrs. C. H. Morris

Another not so well known Christmas carol. 

Quite the convicting message. 

What is taking my time that should be given to Christ?
