Poem about Jesus

[neil]

IF JESUS CAME TO YOUR HOUSE

 

 

IF JESUS CAME TO YOUR OWN HOUSE TO SPEND A DAY OR TWO

IF HE CAME UNEXPECTEDLY, I WONDER WHAT YOU’D DO

 

I KNOW YOU’D GIVE YOUR NICEST ROOM TO SUCH AN HONOURED GUEST

AND ALL THE FOOD THAT YOU WOULD SERVE, WOULD BE THE VERY BEST

 

AND YOU’D KEEP ASSURING HIM, YOU’RE GLAD TO HAVE HIM THERE

THAT SERVING HIM IN YOUR OWN HOUSE, 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 OF THE RADIO, AND HOPE HE HADN’T HEARD

AND WOULD YOU WISH YOU HADN’T SAID, THAT LAST LOAD HASTY WORD

 

WOULD YOU HIDE YOUR MUSIC TAPES, AND PUT SOME SONG BOOKS OUT

WOULD YOU LET HIM WALK RIGHT IN, OR WOULD YOU RUSH 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

AND WOULD YOUR LIFE CONTINUE, AS IT DOES FROM DAY TO DAY

 

WOULD YOUR DAILY 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 SING, AND READ THE BOOKS YOU ALWAYS READ

AND LET HIM KNOW THE THINGS ON WHICH YOUR MIND AND SPIRIT 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 YOUR VERY CLOSEST FRIEND

OR WOULD YOU HOPE THEY’D STAY AWAY, UNTIL HIS VISIT ENDS

 

WOULD YOU BE GLAD TO HAVE HIM STAY, FORE EVER 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 SOME TIME WITH YOU
