"Jesus Is Coming Soon" is a gospel song composed most likely in the earliest years of the 20th century. The song was recorded by Blind Willie Johnson in gospel blues style in 1928, with an uncredited backing vocalist; who may have been Willie B. Harris, by some accounts his first wife, who is known to have appeared on some of his later recordings. The song has become a country music standard, as evidenced by its recording history. The subject-matter of the song is that of many American religious songs: the Second Coming of Jesus Christ may happen at any time, so be prepared for it.
