IF JESUS CAME TO YOUR HOUSE...

If Jesus came to your house To spend some time with you,

If He came unexpected, 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 to Him Would be the very best.

And you would keep on assuring Him You're glad to have Him there-

That serving Him in your home is joy beyond compare.

But when you saw 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 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 Saviour 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?

Or would life for you continue as it does from day to day?

Would you take Jesus with you everywhere you go?

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

Would you be glad to have Him meet your 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.
