UPON EXPECTING A VISITOR
WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU DO
FIGURE OUT WHAT MEAL TO SERVE
AND CLEAN YOUR WHOLE HOUSE THROUGH


DO YOU VACUUM UP YOUR CARPETS
AND DUST FROM THE FURNITURE ...YOU POUND
TELLING THE CHILDREN "PICK UP YOUR TOYS
I DON'T WANT THEM LYING AROUND"


DO YOU DUST ALL THE LAMPSHADES
AND OIL THE FURNITURE DOWN
CHECK TO SEE IF BEDS ARE MADE
AND GET FRESH GROCERIES FROM TOWN


ISN'T IS REALLY SOMETHING...
HOW YOU MAKE EVERYTHING JUST RIGHT
BECAUSE YOU EXPECT A VISITOR
TO COME TO YOUR HOME TONIGHT


DID YOU KNOW JESUS WILL VISIT SOON
HE COULD COME...JUST ANY OLD DAY
ARE YOU BUSY CLEANING UP YOUR LIFE
AND CONSIDERING WHAT HE MIGHT SAY


WE ALL NEED TO DO SOME PREPARING
REPENTING OF EVIL AND SIN IN OUR HEART
SO ...WHEN AFTER HIS VISIT IS OVER
WE'LL JOIN HIM IN HIS DEPART!
