If Jesus Came to Your House

Author: Lois Blanchard Eades

If Jesus came to your house,

I wonder what you'd do.

Yes, if Jesus came to your house

to spend a day or two,

If He came unexpected,

just dropped in on you.

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 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 the radio off

and hope He hadn't heard,

And wish you hadn't uttered

that last loud, hasty word?

And would you hide your worldly music

and put some hymnbooks 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?

And 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?

And would you take Jesus with you

everywhere you'd planned to go,

Or maybe would you change your plans

for just a day or so?

Would you be glad to have Him meet

your very closest friends,

Or hope that they would stay away

until His visit ends?

And 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?

Oh, it might be interesting

to know the things that you would do

If Jesus came in person

to spend some time with you.
