If God came calling at your house,
Do you wonder what you would do.
Must He show up in perfect finery,
What is needed to first impress you.

Would you turn your back quickly,
On the beggar standing at your door.
Instructing everyone in your family
Any future knocks they must ignore.

Maybe it will be someone different
Of the opposite sex or another race,
Somehow disfigured in appearance,
Unpleasing to some they might face.

If another person should call today,
Being there right at your front door.
Do these things listed maybe make,
You feel justified another to ignore.

We need to take a look inside our,
Heart for the answers hidden there.
Maybe questions too afraid to ask,
Ones which we are not even aware.

Is there any requirement of a robe,
Flowing ever smoothly to the floor.
If dressed in other rough garments,
Choose no value for them anymore.

What if there appears no soft glow,
Surrounding a familiar warm face.
Will you then greet this individual,
Welcomed in with a fond embrace.

Will you return to your front door,
If God does makes this house call.
Or shall you decide as others have,
Never being prepared to stand tall.

When these questions are answered,
As all people eventually have to do.
Where will you be to spend eternity,
The final choice is always up to you.
