Make Room in Heaven

 

Get me out of here!
I don’t want to stay here anymore
I used to like this place
It’s not the same here, anymore

Don’t I know there are monsters near?
Don’t I know I’ll be ostracized?
Don’t I know what the center is?
Don’t I know who’ll be left behind?

Don’t I know your face?
Don’t I know your name?
Don’t I know the stakes?
Don’t I know the waste?

Make room in Heaven!
Make room in Heaven for me
Please make room in Heaven for me
Jesus, please make room in Heaven for me
I want to go to a better place

Jesus, strengthen me!
You can make me stronger than this place
I used to fit in, well
but it has wronged me, to my face

By your side there is peace and trust
By your side I can see above
By your side is the place to be
By your side is some space to love

Don’t I know The Way?
Don’t I know the game?
Don’t I know the waste?
Don’t I know the pain?
YOUR pain!

Make room in Heaven!
Make room in Heaven for me
Please make room in Heaven for me
Jesus, please make room in Heaven for me
Make this temporary situation go away

Since you live in me
I could be a target they see
Like Moses, I am meek
but you’re the God for the weak

Everything’s been politicized
Everything is a rigid thing
Everything has been frigidized
Everything has the wicked sing

Don’t I know your rain?
Don’t I know who stays?
Don’t I know who’s tamed?
Don’t I know your train?

Make room in Heaven!
Make room in Heaven for me
Please make room in Heaven for me
Jesus, please make room in Heaven for me
Make this temporary situation end
Let our Everlasting Home in Heaven begin!
