Lyrics
The Last Room In The Inn
I stood in line, waiting to get in the inn
Behind me I saw them, this young woman and man
I got the last room, they got sent away
I just wish I’d known what was gonna happen that day
Ch.
‘Cause that night the shepherds and the kings gathered around
Jesus was born in a manger, Mary and Joseph slept on the ground
Oh, if I had that night to live all over again
I’d slept outside, and gave them the last room in the inn
Several years later, the baby became a man
And I saw him hanging on a cross, nails in his hands
I stood and I wondered why’s he dyin’ for me
After the way that I did him, on the first Christmas Eve
Ch.
