If Jesus came to your house
     to spend a day or two,
If He came unexpectly,
     I wonder 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 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 a joy beyond compare.

But, when you saw Him comming
     would you meet him at the door,
With arms outreached in welcome
     to your heavenly Visitor?
Or, would you change your clothes
     before you let Him in?
Or hide some magazines
     and put your bible where they 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 hymm 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 planned to go?
Or would you 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 a 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.
