Making Room
Song Meaning
David & Nicole Binion open "Making Room" retelling the nativity's most uncomfortable detail plainly — "no room in the inn for the Savior, sadly they turned Him away, send 'em on out to the stable" — before turning the same accusation inward. "No room in our worship for Jesus, forsaking His will for a stage" applies the innkeeper's failure directly to contemporary worship rather than leaving it safely in the past.
"Content to just go through the motions, get through the list and we'll call it a day" names a specific, recognizable kind of spiritual autopilot rather than vague lukewarmness. The repeated confession, "I have decided, I'm making room," answers that diagnosis with a stated decision rather than a hoped-for feeling.
"The first thing I'll do in the morning, the last thing I'll do every night, is build You a throne with my worship" makes the commitment concrete and scheduled rather than occasional. "I live for communion, no matter the price" echoes the cost language used earlier about the inn, turning what began as an ancient failure into a present, deliberate priority. "There's room for Jesus, always room for Jesus" closes the song correcting the title's opening negation completely.
No room in the inn for the Savior
Sadly they turned Him away
Send ‘em on out to the stable
Let Him be born with the sheep and the hay
No room for Jesus
[Verse 2]
No room in our worship for Jesus
Forsaking His will for a stage
Content to just go through the motions
Get through the list and we’ll call it a day
No room for Jesus
No room for Jesus
[Chorus]
I have decided
I’m making room
I’m making room
Here in my heart O Lord
I’m making room
I’m making room
Come and dwell in me
Jesus never leave
I’m making room
The first thing I’ll do in the morning
The last thing I’ll do every night
Is build You a throne with my worship
I live for communion, no matter the price
There’s room for Jesus
Always room for Jesus
[Outro]
I delight, I delight in You
All that I want, is found in You
