Aaron Jeoffrey Unexpected Guest Lyrics

The lawn is 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
There’d be something I hurried to hide
If the doors of my heart were suddenly opened
wide
Would I be prepared at this address
For the unexpected guest

My collar’s white, the lie is straight, and
every hair’s in place
You wouldn’t think to look at me
I’ve cause to be disgraced
Concerned more with perception
And trying to look my best Than dealing with the dirty laundry
I need to confess

If He came like a thief in the night
There’d be something I hurried to hide
And if the doors of my heart were suddenly
opened wide
And would I be prepared at this address
For the unexpected guest

I want to live every moment for Christ
So I’ll be ready whenever He arrives

If He came like a thief in the night
There’d be something I hurried to hide
And if the doors of my heart were suddenly
opened wide
Would I be prepared at this address
For the unexpected guest
The unexpected guest
