If Jesus Came To Your House
 


 


From an original recording by the Reverend Bill Morris



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 honoured guest,
And all the food you'd serve to him would be the very best.

And you would keep assuring him your glad to have him there,
That serving him in your own home is joy beyond compare.

And when you saw him coming would you meet him at the door,
With arms outstretched and 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 wished 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 him about.

And I wonder if the saviour 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 continue for you 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 body feed

Would you take Jesus with you every where you planned to go,
Or would you maybe change your plans for just a day or so.

Would you be glad to have him meet with your very closest friends,
Would you be glad to have him stay for ever on and on,

Or would you sigh with great relief when he at last was gone.
It might be interesting to know the the things that you would do,

If Jesus Christ in person came to spend some time with you.
