Casting Crowns and Matt Maher's song 'Make Room' is a Christmas-themed invitation to prepare one's heart for the arrival of Jesus. The lyrics reflect on the nativity story, describing how the world was unaware of the Savior's birth in a humble manger. The song calls listeners to make space in their lives for God's purpose, even if it means letting go of personal ambitions. It emphasizes that God came to heal and raise the lowly, and that anyone can come to Him as they are. The message is about surrender and allowing God to write His story in our hearts.

Family hiding from the storm
Found no place at the keeper's door
It was for this a Child was born
To save a world so cold and hollow
The sleeping town did not know
That lying in a manger low
A Savior King who had no home
Has come to heal our sorrows
Is there room in your heart
Is there room in your heart
Is there room in your heart
For God to write His story
Shepherds counting sheep in the night
Do not fear the glory light
You are precious in His sight
God has come to raise the lowly
Is there room in your heart
Is there room in your heart
Is there room in your heart
For God to write His story
You can come as you are
But it may set you apart
When you make room in your heart
And trade your dreams for His glory
Make room in your heart
Make room in your heart
Mother holds the Promise tight
Every wrong will be made right
The road is straight and the burden's light
For in His hands He holds tomorrow
Is there room in your heart
Is there room in your heart
Is there room in your heart
For God to write His story
You can come as you are
But it may set you apart
When you make room in your heart
And trade your dreams for His glory
Make room in your heart
Make room in your heart
Make room in your heart
Make room in your heart
