[Intro]
[G] [A] [D]

[G]If Jesus comes tomorrow to [A]spend some time with you
[D]Would you answer all His questions [G]or lie to hide the truth
[A]Would you welcome Him with open [D]arms or even let Him in
[G]If Jesus comes [A]tomorrow what then
[D]If Jesus calls your [G]number could you leave today
[A]Are you ready to lay down [D]your worldly goods and walk away
[G]Would it take a month of Sundays [A]just to tell Him of your sin
[D]If Jesus comes [G]tomorrow what then
[A]If the sky turns black as [D]midnight in the middle of the day
[G]And somehow you knew that Jesus [A]would soon be on His way
[D]Would you have to beg forgiveness or [G]could you reach out and take His hand
[A]If Jesus comes [D]tomorrow what then
