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 hymn books out?
Could you let Jesus come right in
or would you have to rush about?
And I wonder if the Saviour 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 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?
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 you would do,
if Jesus Christ
in person
came to spend some time
with you.
