If Jesus Came to your house
(changed the you to me)
If Jesus came to my house
to spend a day of two
If He came unexpectantly
I wonder what I'd do
Oh to know i'd give my nicest room
to such an honoured guest
and all the food i'd give to Him
would be the very best
and i would keep assuring Him
I'm glad to have Him there
that serving Him in my home
is joy beyond compare
But when i saw Him coming
would I meet Him at the door
with arms outstretched in welcome
to my heavenly visitor?
Or would I have to change my clothes
before i let Him in
Or hide some magazines
And put the bible where they'd been
Would I hide my worldly music
and put some hymn books out?
Could I let Jesus walk right
in, or would I rush about?
And I wonder-if the Saviour
spent a day of two with me
would I go right on doing, the
things i always do?
Would I go right on saying, the
things I always say?
Or would life for me continue
as it does from day to day?
Would i take Jesus with me
everywhere i go?
Or would I maybe change my
plans for just a day or so?
Would I be glad to have Him
meet my cloeset friends?
Or would I hope they stay away
until His visit ends?
Would I be glad to have Him
stay forever on and on?
Or would I sigh with great
relief when He at last was gone?
It might be interesting to know
the things I would do
if Jesus came in person, to spend
some time with me
came to spand some time with me.
