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 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 had 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 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 its 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?
