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 honored guest,
and all the food you'd serve to him
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 a 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 it'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 come right in
or would you have to 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?
Would life for you continue
as it does from day to day?
Would your family conversation
keep up it's 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
everywhere 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 you would do,
if Jesus Christ in person
came to spend some time with you.
