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 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.
