Story behind the song
I thought about how Mary reacted to the news that she would bear the Son of God. Her acceptance, her "yes" makes her the first disciple, the first to accept Jesus into her own heart. She is the perfect example.
Lyrics
Room in Our Hearts
based on Luke 1:26-35
She was a child
She was barely a woman, and of humble means
When he would appear
Bringing messages from her God unseen
‘Blessed are you among all womankind!
The Lord is with you,
And His favor, daughter, you will find.’
She was afraid
But the angel assured her and told her thus
‘You will conceive
And this child of the Most High you will call Jesus.
The Spirit will come, He will plant the seed.’
She said, ‘Let it be done,
I’m His servant now, so let it be!’
She said ‘yes’ to the Lord
For she had found His favor
And she trusted in Him
Now she would bear the Saviour
She found room in her heart
Putting her fears behind her
By trusting in God
She was to bear the Saviour
Yes, she believed
And a manger provided a birthing place
Soon He was born
And His mother was first to see His Holy Face
And by her ‘yes’ she was key to His birth
She can hold and caress
This child of heaven and of earth
(1st chorus)
We can believe
Just as Mary once did
And we can receive
Our Saviour now as she once did
Making room in our hearts
Putting our fears behind us
Saying ‘yes’ to the Lord
He can be born within us
Making room in our hearts
Listening as He calls us
And trusting in Him
We can receive the Lord Jesus
