- 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.
