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 honored Guest
and all the food you'd serve
to him would be the very best,
And you'd keep reassuring 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 our 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?
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'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 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 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 a day with you.
