Pastor's Corner

for Sunday April 19th
What if Jesus came to your house?
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.

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 had been?

Would you turn off the radio and hope he hadn't heard?
And wish you hadn't uttered that last, loud, nasty word?
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 keep 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 its usual pace?
And would you find it hard each meal to say a table grace?

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 we would do,
If Jesus came in person to spend some time with you.
