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?

I know you'd give your nicest room to such an honored guest

And all the food that you would serve would be the very best.

And you would 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 outstretched arms in welcome, to your heavenly visitor?

Or would you need to change your clothes before you let him in?

Or hide some worldly magazines and put Bibles where they had been?

Would you turn off the radio, and hope he hadn't heard...

And would you wish you hadn't said that last, loud nasty word?

Would you hide your rock and roll albums and put the songbook 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 on doing the things you always do?

Would you keep right on saying the things you always say?

And would your life continue as it does from day to day?

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 heart do feed?

Would you take Jesus with you everywhere you'd planned to go?

Or would you, maybe, change your plans just for a day or so?

Would you be glad to have him meet your very closest friends?

Or hope that they would 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?
