IF Jesus came to your house today....

IF Jesus came to your house today..

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 good food you'd serve to Him 
would be the very best. 
And you'd 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 outstretched in welcome to 
your Heav'nly Visitor?
Or would you have to change your clothes 
before you let Him in, hide some magazines, and
put the Bible where they'd been?
Would you turn off the radio or TV and hope 
He hadn't heard, or wished you hadn't 
uttered that last loud hasty word? 
Would you have to remove the favored 
drinks of refreshment? 
Would you hide your worldly music and 
put some hymn books out? 
Could you let Jesus walk right in or would you 
have to 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 keep 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? 
Would you sing the songs you always do 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's 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.
