RR: IF GOD CAME TO YOUR HOUSE TODAY

IF GOD CAME TO YOUR HOUSE TODAY

If God came to your home to spend a day or two -

If He came unexpectedly, I wonder what you would do.

Oh, I know you’d give your nicest room too such an honoured Guest,

And all the food you’d serve Him would be the very beat ,

And you would keep assuring Him you’re glad to have Him there

That serving Him in your home is joy beyond compare.

with arms out stretched 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 Holz book 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 you hide your worldly music and put some hymn books out ?

Could you let God walk right in, or would you rush about ?

And I wonder - if the Almighty 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?

Would your family conversation keep its usual pace?

And would you find it hard each meal to say 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 God with you everywhere you’d planned to go,

Or would you, may be, 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 God came in person to spend some time with you.
