A Stranger Come to Call

If He should knock upon your door
What would the Saviour find?
Would you be glad to let Him come inside?
And should He glance upon the shelf to see what fills your mind,
Would there be books that you would like to hide?
Could you sit right down and talk to Him as to a treasured friend?
Would your lips reveal a love that burns for all,
Or would you have to watch your words for fear that they might show,
The Lord was just a stranger come to call?

If Jesus Christ should come one day a-knocking at your door,
Would you refuse at first to let Him in?
Then try to hide or change the things that you'd been living for,
Though all along you knew it to be sin?
Would you take Him to a secret place where daily you had prayed,
Knowing well His love could keep you lest you fall?
Or would you heavy-hearted be as suddenly you found,
The Lord was just a stranger come to call?

I've had this song for years, my family heard it on an old tape of ours. I don't know who wrote it, and it was just copied the words, so I don't have the music written. But it's a beautiful song, with a depth of meaning to it. I hope you were blessed to read it.

He Could Have Called

They bound the hands of Jesus in the garden where He prayed;
They led Him thro' the streets in shame.
They spat upon the Savior so pure and free from sin;
They said, "Crucify Him; He's to blame."

Refrain
He could have called ten thousand angels
To destroy the world and set Him free.
He could have called ten thousand angels,
But He died alone, for you and me.

Upon His precious head they placed a crown of thorns;
They laughed and said, "Behold the King!"
They struck Him and they cursed Him and mocked His holy name
All alone He suffered everything.

When they nailed Him to the cross, His mother stood nearby,
He said, "Woman, behold thy son!"
He cried, "I thirst for water," but they gave Him none to drink.
Then the sinful work of man was done.

To the howling mob He yielded; He did not for mercy cry.
The cross of shame He took alone.
And when He cried, "It's finished," He gave Himself to die;
Salvation's wondrous plan was done.
