I have been writing songs for nearly 40 years ranging from love songs to political parodies and in recent years my attention has turned to spiritual songs particularly based on New Testament Texts

Story behind the song
For me , the most interesting line is "When the being in her pain was waiting to be born" When this line reappeared as "There's a being in our pain who is waiting to be born " I realised that I had written a worthwhile song.
Lyrics
No Room at the Inn I It was the time when Caesar Augustus issued the Census Decree They were counting everyone in the known world wherever they might be And his subjects had to register in the place their families came from And that’s why Joseph and Mary were heading for Bethlehem II Now it was the middle of winter and Mary was heavy with child She had her needs which they didn’t heed; she had to be on their files And as she looked for shelter for the night, all she heard was this refrain We’re sorry but there’s no room at the Inn, all her searching was in vain Chorus No room at the Inn in Bethlehem that night No friends or relations to help her in her plight When the being in her pain was waiting to be born Who would change this world forever on that first Christmas Morn? III As she wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him down on the hay I wonder did she realise the true meaning of that day When in spite of her lowly surroundings, her heart was so full of joy As she poured out her precious love on her special baby boy IV The Angles in the Heavens found the Shepherds on the side of the hill They told them not to be afraid and to listen to them sing Glory be to God in the highest and peace to all of goodwill Tonight the Messiah, the Saviour, is born, Jesus Christ our King Chorus Is there room at your Inn, as you face yourself tonight? For someone who can save you from this world’s weary plight There’s a being in your pain who is waiting to be born Who can change your life forever, on each and every morn There’s a being in your pain who is waiting to be born Who can change your life forever, on each and every morn

Tony, Thanks for the Christmas wishes. May God bless your efforts to add melody and poetry to the Gospel proclamation. Thanks for crafting "No Room at the Inn"... well done in the Irish folk tradition and your affection for Christ shines through. Johnny
