This modern song written by Sovereign Grace is one I usually have on repeat around Christmas time. The call to ‘prepare Him room’ is not only for the in-keeper as detailed in Luke’s Gospel, but the whole world, as the Messiah enters the world, changes our hearts, and saves us from our sin.

O behold, the mystery now unfolds.
See the star shine on the virgin foretold.
Angels sing and light up the sky,
Hope rings out in a newborn’s cry;
Swing wide, you ancient gates,
For Christ is born today!

Refrain
Prepare Him room
Prepare Him room
Let the King of glory enter in

God with us, the promise has come to be.
This, the one the prophets were longing to see.
In the darkness a blazing light,
To the hungry the words of life;
His kingdom now is near,
For those with ears to hear.

Refrain

Oh, our hearts, as busy as Bethlehem.
Hear Him knock, don’t say there’s no room in the inn.
Through the cradle, cross, and grave,
See the love of God displayed;
Now He’s risen and He reigns,
Praise the Name above all names!

Refrain
