Michael McLean - Let Him In

Uncle John:
I am a man forgotten
No one recalls my name
Thousands of years will fail to

Fully erase my shame
But I turned a profit
Nicely the day
That I turned the couple away
I turned them away...

The Innkeep:
I didn't sleep that evening
Though I'd sold out my place
Somehow I felt uneasy
Something about her face
Why do I wish
That I'd let them stay?
I don't think they could've paid
Or could they have paid?

Restless, I left my bedroom
I walked the streets all night
Lost in the world I lived in
Found by heavеnly light
Staring at one bright star in the sky
I heard a baby cry

And I knеw where that cry
Had come from
'Cause I'd told them where
They could go
But I didn't think I could face them
So I walked slowly home
Missing my chance
To share in their joy
I never saw the boy

But He never would condemn me
'Cause I did that all on my own
He offered His forgiveness
And ever since then, I've known
That He lets us choose
Each hour of each day
If we'll let Him in to stay

Let Him in
Let Him in
Let the hope and joy begin
Let Him in
Let Him in
Let the peace on earth begin

The Innkeep & (Choir):
And whether it be
In your world today
Or a crowded Bethlehem Inn
Find a way
(Find a way)
Make Him room
(Make Him room)
Let Him in
Let Him in
(Let Him in)
Let the hope and joy begin
(It's beginning)
Let Him in
(Let Him in)
Let Him in
(Let Him in)
Let the peace on earth begin
(It's beginning)
Let Him in
(Let Him in)
Let Him in
(Let Him in)
Let Him in
Let Him in
(Let Him in)
