Story Behind The Song
This was one of the first songs I wrote after I became a Christian. We used to be involved in a campus ministry that met in a living room. We literally had to squeeze in to make room for everyone so I wrote this song. Fun!
Song Description
This is a fun, lively song for an informal Christian gathering. With references to heaven and the rapture, it beckons the listener to sing along. Humorous twist with the sizes of people, fat and skinny mentioned.

Lyrics
Chorus: Squeeze in, O brethren.
Squeeze in real tight.
We're gonna praise the Lord
Squeezed in tonight.
Get close to your neighbor
and look him in the eye.
Someday you may see him
with Jesus in the sky!
I know we're a little crowded now
But that's okay by me.
I'd rather be a little crowded now,
Don't you all agree?
I don't want to be an old stick in the mud
Out there by myself.
I'd rather be loving God with you,
Not stuck on some old shelf!
There's fat ones, skinny ones, short ones, tall ones,
All one body we
Let's get to know each other now
'Cause in eternity
We'll have our mansions all in a row,
Just so neighborly.
So let's get started. Come on folks,
Now sing this song with me.
