INS: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 honered Guest,
 And all the food you'd serve to Him
    would be the very best,
 And you 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 outstreched 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 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 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?
 It might be interesting to know
    the things that you would do
 If Jesus Christ in person came
    to spend some time with you.
