Verse 1:
The lawn is cut
the walk is swept
the welcome mat is out
there's not a spec
of dust upon
the table or the couch
But the cob webs in the attic
are the strands of fear and blame
and hanging in the closet
is a skeleton of shame
Chorus:
If he came like a thief in the night
would the be something i hurry to hide
If the doors of my heart
suddenly opened wide
would i be prepared at this address
for the unexpected guest
Verse 2:
My collar's right
my tie's in straight
and every hair's in place
you wouldn't think to look at me
I've caused to be disgraced
con-circled with perception
and trying to look my best
but dealing with the dirty laundry
i need to confess
Chorus:
if he came like a thief in the night
would there be something i hurry to hide
and if the doors of my heart
were suddenly opened wide
would i be prepared at this address
for the unexpected guest
Bridge:
i want to live every moment for Christ
so I'll be ready whenever he arrives
Chorus:
if he came like a thief in the night
would there be something i hurry to hide
and if the doors of my heart
were suddenly opened wide
would i be prepared at this address
for the unexpected guest
