"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 subject-matter of the song combines imagery of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ with an account of the 1918 flu pandemic.
