Artist/Band: Porter Wagoner
Lyrics for Song: What Would You Do (If Jesus Came To Your House)
Lyrics for Album: Thin Man From the West Plains (Bear Family) [1993]



(Hugh Ashley - Lois Blanchard)

Porter Wagoner & Norma Jean



(Sang)

What would you do, what would you do

If Jesus came to spend some time with you?



(Spokenb)

If Jesus came to your house to spend a day or two

If he came unexpectedly I wonder what you'd do

When you saw him comin' would you meet him at the door

With arms outstretched and welcome to your heavenly visitor.



Or would you need to change some things before you let him in

Like burn some magazines and put the Bible where they'd been

Oh, I know you'd give your nicest room to such an honered guest.



And all the food that you'd serve to him would be the very best

And you'd keep assuring him that you was glad to have him there

That serving him in your home was a join beyond compare

But what about your family conversation would it keep up its normal 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 of great relief when finally he had gone

You know it might be interesting to know the things you'd do

If Jesus came in person to spend some time with you.



(Sang)

What would you do, what would you do

If Jesus came to spend some time with you...


What Would You Do (If Jesus Came To Your House)

Porter Wagoner's 1993 recording of 'What Would You Do (If Jesus Came To Your House)' stands as a poignant testament to his enduring commitment to gospel-infused country music. While best known for his secular hits, Wagoner frequently collaborated with gospel artists, blending spiritual themes with his signature twang. This track, released on the Bear Family compilation 'Thin Man From the West Plains,' reflects the artist's deep faith and ability to weave religious sentiment into his broader discography. The song captures a moment of quiet reflection, inviting listeners to consider their own spiritual priorities through Wagoner's distinctive vocal delivery and traditional instrumentation. It remains a significant example of his work that bridges the gap between secular country storytelling and sacred songwriting.
