THOU DIDST LEAVE THY THRONE
[Verse 1]
D G Bm
Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown,
A/C# D A
When Thou camest to earth for me;
D C# F#m E
But in Bethlehem’s Home was there found no room
A E Asus
For Thy Holy na-tiv-i-ty.
[Chorus]
D D/F# G/E A7
O come to my heart, Lord Je - sus
E/G D/F# A A7 D
There is room in my heart for Thee.
[Verse 2]
D G Bm
Heaven’s arches rang when the angels sang,
A/C# D A
Pro-claiming Thy royal de-gree;
D C# F#m E
But of lowly birth didst Thou come to earth,
A E Asus
And in great hu-mil-i-ty. (CHORUS)
[Verse 3]
D G Bm
Thou camest, O Lord, with the living Word
A/C# D A
That should set Thy people free;
D C# F#m E
But with mocking scorn, and with crown of thorn,
A E Asus
They bore Thee to Cal-va-ry. (CHORUS)
[Verse 4]
D G Bm
When the heavens shall ring, and the angels sing,
A/C# D A
At Thy coming to vic-to-ry
D C# F#m E
Let Thy voice call me home, saying “Yet there is room,
A E Asus
There is room at My side for thee.”
[Chorus 2]
D D/F# G/E A7
My heart shall rejoice, Lord Je - sus,
E/G D/F# A A7 D
When Thou comest and call-est for me.
