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. 
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 off the radio 
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 hymn books out? 
Could you let Jesus just walk right in, 
or would you rush about? 
And I wonder, if the Savior 
spend 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 it's 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
