If Jesus Came To Your House

I didn't write this, but I like it.

If Jesus came to your home
to spend a day or two
If He came unexpectedly
I wonder what you'd do

Oh, I know you'd give your nicest room
To such an honored guest
And all the food you'd serve him
Would be the very best
And you would keep assuring him
You're glad to have him there
That serving him in your home
Is joy beyond compare

But when you see him coming
Would you meet him at the door
With arms outstretched in welcome
To your heavenly visitor

Or would you have to change your clothes
Before you let him in
Or hide some magazines
And put the Bible where they'd been

Would you turn off the radio
And hope he hadn't heard
And wish you hadn't uttered
That last, loud, hasty word

Would you hide your worldly music
And put some hymn books out
Could you let Jesus walk right in
Or would you rush about

And I wonder if the Savior
Spent a day or two with you
Would you go right on doing
The things you always do

Would you go right on saying
The things you always say
Would life for you continue
As it does from day to day

Would your family conversation
Keep its usual pace
And would you find it hard each meal
To say table grace

Would you sing the songs you always sing
And read the books you read
And let him know the things
On which your mind and spirit feed

Would you take Jesus with you
Everywhere you planned to go
Or would you, maybe, change your plans
For just a day or so

Would you be glad to have him
Meet your very closest friends
Or would you hope they stay away
Until His visit ends

Would you be glad to have him
Stay forever on and on
Or would you sigh with great relief
When he at last was gone

It might be interesting to know
The things That you would do
If Jesus came in person
To spend some time with you

Grace and Peace
