Song Lyrics to, “Room For More” - Booth Brothers

Song Lyrics to,“Room For More”W e l c o m e To Th e Fa m i l yThe tablecloths are red and white, the tea is sweet and coldThe lines are long for that good fried chicken and green bean casseroleOld folks all are fanning, the young kids are at playThe preacher asks the blessing, it’s a scene that seems to sayCHORUS:Welcome to the family you can feel at home hereThere’s a lotta love that goes beyond these yearsThere’s nothing like the fellowship of those who love the LordSo welcome to the family, there’s always room for moreWe all feel like nappin’ on a Sunday afternoonBut we’ll stick around for a while to sing some good ole gospel tunesIt doesn’t matter if the voices and the songs are new or oldThere’s something in the harmony that’s speaking to my soul.BRIDGE:When I count my blessings it’s easy to seeMy brothers and sisters that mean so much to meI think about the many times they’ve kept me in their prayersAnd the countless ways they’ve always shown me that they careAnd I know they’ll still walk with me no matter what’s aheadIYes so much more than just their words, their lives have always said

S t a n dSome will say it’s foolishSome that it’s absurdBut still we choose to build our livesUpon God’s holy WordWe know It’s always perfectWe trust It in all thingsIt’s holy and It’s rightSo whatever this life bringsChorus:We stand on what is timelessWe stand on what is trueWe stand up unashamedNo matter what the world may doWe stand upon this rockSpoken by the Lord of allAnd though other lives built on sand may fallWe standIt may not be in fashionIt may not be in vogueBut when we look at empty livesAll around we knowWe could live pursuing powerThinking pleasure satisfiesGod’s light cuts through the shadowsRevealing they’re just liesBridge:Let us trust His every wordResisting every wrongLet us read It and believe ItIt’s our only hope for standing strong

F a i t h f u l On eI’ve lived it, I’ve seen it, I know that it’s trueThe dawning of each day His mercies are newHe’s good to His children you can trust in thatWe’re never forsaken, facts are factsChorus:He’ll always do what He’s always doneHe’s the faithful OneWe’re in His care whatever comesHe’s the faithful OneProtector, Provider, Sustainer, God’s SonI’m standing on His promisesHe’s the faithful OneYou’ve got your story the grace that you’ve knownBeen put down mistreated but never aloneYou’ve tried Him and He’s proven time and againGotta lifetime of reasons to keeping trusting HimBridge:Always constant, always kind.Always gracious all the timeAlways constant, always kindAlways loving true friend of mine

S t u f f Of Li f eTwo bikes and a football in the drivewayA couple of cap guns dropped on the front porchMatchbox cars and skateboards in the kitchenGreen army men piled by the bedroom doorI stepped across a catcher’s mitt, leaned in to kiss my wifeWe both smiled and laughed aboutAll the stuff of lifeGotta write a check for next week’s field tripOne for this year’s fifth new pair of tennis shoesWe just found that one is needing glassesThe other’s braces go on in a month or twoThese days being family really comes at quite a priceSuch are the times that we live inFor all the stuff of lifeBridge:More than all these things I want to give themAll that I work so hard to provideWhat I want for them to have the most isWhat matters most and that is what’s insideMay they have peace, no matter what, I’ll love themMay it give them strength in these uncertain daysMay they have dreams that fill their lives with purposeFull of joy and hope from living life with faithBut most of all may their hearts burn with passion to serve Christ‘Cause more than all these other thingsThat’s the stuff of life

P e a c e In Th e Sh e l t e rWhen the cares of life seem more than I can handleAnd clouds of doubt have settled in my soulWhen everywhere I turn the storm is ragingInto the Savior’s loving arms I goChorus:There is peace in the shelter of His armsA refuge from the storm where I am safe from harmThrough the strongest winds and pouring rainThere’s peace in the shelter of His armsThere’s never been a moment on this journeyThat I have been forsaken or alone“Cause every time I face the unexpectedMy Father gently leads through the unknownBridge:There’s peace that passes all understandingAnd peace that goes beyond all comprehending

S t a n d i n g Ta l lIt’s hard to watch a good friend going through a time so toughBut I’ve seen the way you take the heat and never do give upIt seems unfair that most folks just aren’t trying to live by faithBut I think back to years ago when I heard my grandpa sayChorus:Thunder shakes the mountainside but it seems to meWhen lightning strikes somehow it always finds the tallest treeI look at what you’re facing and think maybe after allThe only thing that you’ve been guilty ofIs standing tallLet the hurt keep you humble, let it make you look insideLet it keep you on your knees searching for a reason whyI may not have the answers but I’ve seen this beforeSometimes the faithful ones are called to bear a little more

L o v e An d Gr a c eThe woman was surrounded by accusersEvery man was picking up a stoneStanding there in pride and pointing fingersClaiming that her right to life was goneJesus made His way and knelt between themWriting freedom’s message in the sandWhen He reminded them there’s not a man without sinYou could see her start to smile againChorus:Love and grace makes real the gospel messageLove and grace takes all the shame awayLove and grace breaks the heavy chains of bondageGives every heart a resting placeLove and grace sings a happy song of praisesLove and grace seems to brighten up the dayLove and grace brings us up to heavenly placesJust to know the debts been paidAnd Heaven’s on the wayMakes the world a better placeLove and graceEvery day we represent the MasterWith a chance to show His love within our heartsBy showing grace to a struggling brotherWe give the one who fell another startKnowing there is no one great among usNo one who should dare pick up a stoneIf we’re gonna win this world to JesusIt’ll be by love and grace alone

F r e e d o mIn this world where you’ve been living, you have lived for much too longAnd your life has lost its sunshine, and your heart has lost its songYou have made your life a prison with a wall so big and wideAnd you left the Lord outsideChorus:Freedom, freedom is yours for the askingJesus is waiting to make you freeHis love will take you where wall can’t separate youAnd you shall be free when the Truth makes you freeYou have made yourself a prisoner of a world you won’t let goAnd the walls rise up around you, and each day they upward growLook above the sun is shining, there’s a bright new world aboveIt is God’s world of freedom and love
