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 Him would be the very best.
And you would keep assuring Him you're glad to have Him there,
That having Him within your home is joy beyond compare.
But when you saw Him coming...would you meet Him at the door,
With arms outstretched to welcome your Heavenly visitor?
Or would you have to change your clothes before you let him in,
Or hide the current 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 nasty word?
Yes, it would be interesting to see what you would do,
If the Savior came in person to spend some time with you.
Would your family conversation keep up its usual way,
And at the dinner table would you think more as you pray?
Would you watch the shows you always watch and read the books you read,
And let Him know the things on which your mind and spirit feed?
And would you take Him with you where-ever you planned to go,
Or would you maybe change your plans for just a day or so...
And would you be glad to have him meet your closest friends,
Or would you hope they'd stay away until his visit ends?
Yes, it would be so interesting to know what you would do,
If Jesus come to your home to spend a day or two.
