Analysis of No Room at the Inn
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Conceived inside a virgin womb
To save us all from death and doom
Born in flesh to be a man
He is our God; He is I am
An animal feeding trough His bed
He is alive; and we were dead
He died to save us all from sin
That’s why we must be born again
But not of flesh; this time of Spirit
And wicked men don’t want to hear it
They think that flesh is all there is
They’re not of God; they are not His
Jesus came to save all men
But some just won’t make room for Him
