IF JESUS CAME TO YOUR HOUSE
|
written by: Lois Blanchard Eades

If Jesus came to your house to spend a day or two,
If He came unexpectedly,I wounder what you would 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 your
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?
And wish you hadn't uttered that last,loud,nasty 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 on doing the things you always do?
Would you go on saying the things
you always say?
Would life for you contine you for you as it does,
from day to day?
Would your family conversation
keep up it's usual pace?
And would you find it hard each meal to say 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 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, very
closest friends?
Or would you hope they 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.
