If Jesus were to visit me

If Jesus were to visit me
He would take me as I am
Because he knows me best of all
And would simply shake my hand

I would show him round the garden
Then offer him cake and tea
We’d chat about the changing world
And how it affects you and me

I’d tell him about the hopes I have
That children everywhere will be fed
And everyone, where-ever they live
Will have a clean and nice warm bed

Then we would walk in the forest
Listening quietly to creatures awake
And Jesus would explain quite plainly
What changes we all should make

Before he leave, I would pray with him
And give thanks for his birth
I’d tell him I hope that someday soon
he will come back
And there will be peace on earth
