IF JESUS CAME TO MY HOUSE

IF JESUS CAME TO MY HOUSE


I've often wondered what I'd do
If Jesus came to dinner
If He showed up, unannounced
Would he wish that I was thinner?
Would I use a tablecloth
And the napkins to match
Or perhaps I'd use some placemats
But not the ones I patched.

I wonder what food He'd like
Soup, roast or stew?
Maybe I would bake a pie
A rhubarb one, might do;
Would He like a glass of milk
Or a glass of wine?
Who should ask the blessing
When it came the time?

If He asked some questions
Would I know what to say?
And if He asked to spend the night
Would he expect to pay?
If my other guests returned
Would I be proud of Him?
Introduce Him as my Lord
My Saviour and best friend?

If Jesus came to my house
And stayed overnight
I would feel in Heaven
Everything would be alright!
Maybe He would carry me
To live with Him up there
'Til then, I'll just pray and wait
And always be prepared.

If Jesus came to my house.....
