Mary made room for the Baby Jesus, Joseph made room for both of them. Can we make room for Him and everyone who comes into our lives?

Meditational, thought-provoking songs for easy Christian listening...the music of singer-songwriter Nancy Krebs
Welcome to my Soundclick page! I have been a professional actor and singer for all of my adult life. I felt fairly complete doing theatre, films, voice-over work commercials, and teaching. Ever since I was in High School, I also wrote songs--many of them spiritual in nature. I’ve always felt a strong desire to “serve” in some capacity. It wasn’t until 1994, when I turned the process of writing over to God, that all of the avenues that I had been following seemed to come together. I began to write song after song, inspired by the Holy Spirit, singing at a church that supported my fledgling efforts. People kept asking me ‘do you have a cassette or a CD of your songs?” “No”, I would always answer--for the thought of recording never entered my head. Finally, after much soul-searching, my first album, THE JOURNEY, was created, and concerts followed; and more songs followed, and another album followed, and the journey continues. God is not finished yet, and neither am I. The songs I’ve been blessed to write come under the heading of “meditational”, “contemplative”, “inspirational”; and when people listen, they seem to be moved by the sentiments expressed. My fervent hope is that a song will touch someone’s heart, and that heart will be moved to a closer union with God--the Father, who created us, Jesus the Son, who redeemed us, and the Holy Spirit, who sanctifies us.

Story behind the song
I heard this fabulous sermon given by Rev. Steve McNeely at the Columbia Baptist Fellowship in Columbia Maryland several years ago. I fell in love with his central theme--that we just don't make or find the time in our lives for people who we love, let alone those who might need us on the periphery of our lives during the busy holiday season--but Mary made room and Joseph made room for what God had in store for them. Can't we also?
Lyrics
LOVE MAKES ROOM Nancy Krebs ©12/15/98 THE ANGEL TOLD HER ‘FEAR NOT’, YET SHE WAS STILL AFRAID. HOW COULD SHE BE THE MOTHER OF GOD SUCH AN AWESOME ROLE TO BE PLAYED. HOW COULD SHE EVER TELL JOSEPH? WOULD HE JUST TOSS HER ASIDE? WHAT ABOUT THE BABY TO BE BORN? WHEN A SMALL VOICE IN HER CRIED: ‘LOVE MAKES ROOM.”. SHE LOOKED DEEP IN HER HEART AND SHE FOUND A PLACE ALL SHE HAD TO DO WAS THINK OF THE FACE OF HER CHILD TO BE, THAT’S ALL SHE HAD TO SEE... SHE SAID: “FOR HIM, I’LL MAKE ROOM. BECAUSE LOVE MAKES ROOM” THE ANGEL TOLD HIM “FEAR NOT”, TAKE MARY HOME AS YOUR WIFE. SHE WILL BE THE MOTHER OF A SON WHO WILL BRING ALL PEOPLE NEW LIFE” WHAT SHOULD HE DO ABOUT MARY? SHOULD HE JUST PUT HER ASIDE? WHAT ABOUT THIS BABY TO BE BORN WHEN A SMALL VOICE IN HIM CRIED: “LOVE MAKES ROOM.” HE LOOKED DEEP IN HIS HEART AND HE FOUND A PLACE. ALL HE HAD TO DO WAS THINK OF HER FACE WITH ITS SILENT PLEA, FOR THE CHILD TO BE HE SAID: “FOR THEM I’LL MAKE ROOM, BECAUSE LOVE MAKES ROOM” ANGELS WHISPER “FEAR NOT” TRUST IN THE SAVIOR’S WILL. THAT BABY BORN IN BETLEHEM IS LIVING IN US STILL. BUT WHO HAS TIME FOR COMPASSION? IT’S TOO HARD TO HEAR THE CRIES. IF WE FOLLOW THE FOOTSTEPS OF MARY AND JOSEPH THAT SMALL VOICE IN US SIGHS: “LOVE MAKES ROOM” WE’LL LOOK DEEP IN OUR HEARTS AND WE’LL FIND A PLACE. ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS JUST SEE HIS FACE IN ONE ANOTHER, EVERY SISTER AND BROTHER... AND WE’LL SAY: “FOR THEM I’LL MAKE ROOM. BECAUSE LOVE MAKES ROOM.” MARY MADE ROOM IN HER BEING, JOSEPH MADE ROOM IN HIS HEART, WE, TOO, CAN MAKE ROOM..BECAUSE LOVE MAKES ROOM. dedicated to Rev. Steve McNeely, pastor, Columbia Baptist Fellowship
