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 you serve Him

would be the very best.

And you would keep assuring Him

your glad to have Him here,

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 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 keep right on saying

the things you always say?

Would life for you continue

Ads 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 spirit feed?

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 relief

when at last He was gone?

It might be interesting to know

the things that you would do,

if Jesus came in person

To spend some to with you.
