No Room In Jerusalem Poem by Martin Greyford

The Savior came wandering
All about Jerusalem,
Looking for a place
He could call His home

Unfortunately,
All the hotels, lodges
Motels, inns and guest houses
Were all filled to capacity.

Nobody tried to offer
A place for Him.
The nice and luxurious places
Were all taken.

The LORD wandered
Looking for a place
In all Jerusalem
But no room was found for him.

Alas!
A man offered his stable.
A filthy place full of
Animal faecal matter and animals.

There was no room in Jerusalem
For my King
Except the manger
That's where He was born.
