cut,
the walk is swept,
the welcome mat is out
There's not a speck of dust
upon the table or the couch
But the cobwebs in the attic
are the strands of fear and blame
And hanging in the closet
is a skeleton of shame
If he came like a thief in the night
Would there be something
I'd hurry to hide?
If the doors of my heart
were suddenly open wide
Would I be prepared at this address
for the unexpected guest?
My collar's wide, tie is straight
And every hair's in place
You wouldn't think to look at me
I've caused to be disgraced
Concerned more with perception
And tried to look my best
Than dealing with the dirty laundry
I need to confess
If we came like a thief in the night
Would there be something
I'd read to hide?
And if the doors of my heart
were suddenly open wide
And would I be prepared
at this address
for the un expected guest?
I want to live every moment for Christ,
so I'll be ready whenever He arrives.
If it came like a thief in the night
Would there be something I hurried to hide
An d if the doors of my heart
Were suddenly open wide
Would I be prepared at this address
For the unexpected gift
The unex pected gift
