If Jesus came to your House (By Lois Blanchard Eades)
|
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 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 home is joy beyond compare. |
| But, when you saw Him coming would you meet Him at the |
| door, 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, nasty word? |
| Would you hide your worldly music and put some hymn 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 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 et 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 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 came in person to spend some time with you. |
