If Jesus came to your house to spend a day or two,
If he came unexpectedly I wonder what you’d do?
When you saw him coming would you meet him at the door,
With arms outstretched in welcome to your heavenly visitor,
Or would you need to change some things before you let him in;
Like burn some magazines and put the Bible where they’d been.
Would you let Jesus walk right in
Or would you rush about to hide your worldly music,
and put some Hymn books out.
Oh, I know that you’d give your nicest room to such an honored Guest.
And all the food that you’d serve him would be the very best,
And you’d keep assuring him that you were glad to have him there,
That serving him in your house was joy beyond compare.
But would your family conversation keep up it’s normal pace,
And would you find it hard each meal to say a Table Grace.
And what about the songs you sing, the books you like to read.
Would you 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 hope they stayed away until his visit ends.
Would you take him with you everywhere that you had planned to go
Or maybe change your plans for just a day or so.
Would you be glad to have him stay forever on and on,
Or sigh a sigh of great relief when finally he had gone.
You know, It might be interesting to know the things that you’d do,
If Jesus came in person to spend some time with you.
What would you do, What would you do,
If Jesus came to spend some time with you.
