If Jesus came to your house.
|
|
|
|
If Jesus came to your house 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 honered Guest,
|
|
And all the food you'd serve to Him
|
|
would be the very best,
|
|
And you keep assuring Him
|
|
you're glad to have Him there
|
|
That serving Him in your own home is
|
|
joy beyond compare.
|
|
|
|
But when you saw Him coming,
|
|
would you meet Him at the door
|
|
With arms outstreched 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
|
|
up its usual pace?
|
|
And would you find it hard each meal
|
|
to say a 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 every-
|
|
where you'd 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'd 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 Christ in person came to spend
|
|
some time with you.
