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 Him would
be the very best,
And you would keep assuring Him you're
glad to have him there-
That serving Him in your 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
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 so I wonder-if the Savior spent a day
or two with you,
Would you go right on doing the things
you always do?
always say?
Would life for you continue as it does
from day to day?
Would your family conversation keep up
its usual pace,
And at the dinner table would you say
a word of 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 Him with you everywhere
you 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
lie at last was gone?
It might be interesting to know the things
that you would do,
If Jesus came in person to spend some
time with you.
