AbrahamH Music's 'Jesus is Coming': A Gospel Song Built on Anticipation
The song is a gospel exhortation, half sermon and half celebration, built on one unshakable claim: Jesus is returning, and the only sensible response is to be ready. Released in September 2026 as a stand-alone single, it belongs to a long African gospel tradition that treats eschatology (the end of things) not as a scary prophecy but as a reason to dance.
The opening functions like an altar call. Before any melody of praise, the singer lists what a life without Christ actually amounts to: a head stuffed with information, a hand stuffed with money, and still, in his words, an empty life. The pairing is pointed. In an era that measures success in credentials and currency, the song flatly denies that either adds up to meaning. The counter-offer is simple and absolute: receive Jesus, receive eternal life.
The central refrain
From there, the song pivots into its engine: the repeated line "He's coming again, glory be to God." This is not filler. In Pentecostal and charismatic worship, repetition is the point; a phrase becomes a vehicle for communal agreement. By the time the refrain cycles for the fifth or sixth time, the congregation is no longer being told something, it is confessing something.
The verses layer in the emotional texture. The singer calls Jesus "That Man that gave His all for me," a phrase that collapses the whole crucifixion story into a single, intimate description. The relationship is personal (He gave His all for me) before it is cosmic (He is coming back for everyone). That order matters. The joy of the song is grounded in gratitude, not in fear of judgment.
The Igbo line and the Pauline echoes
One line surfaces in Igbo: "Olilanya Nke ndinso," which translates roughly as "the hope of the saints." Its placement is deliberate; the English text echoes it later with the parenthetical "hope of the saints." The bilingual move situates the song in a Nigerian gospel context and signals that the resurrection hope being described is not an abstraction imported from elsewhere, it belongs to the singer's own community and language.
The lyrics also lean heavily on New Testament imagery without naming chapter and verse. "The resurrection and the life" quotes Jesus from John 11. "My bridegroom cometh" draws on the parable of the ten virgins in Matthew 25. "We will be transformed in the twinkling of an eye" is lifted almost directly from 1 Corinthians 15, Paul's description of the final resurrection. The song is essentially a mosaic of scripture set to music, which is characteristic of African Pentecostal praise, where the lyric is often meant to teach as much as to move.
Why the structure works
At nearly five minutes, the track takes its time. The long closing stretch, with its stacked "He's coming again" lines and the "Halle, halle, hallelujah" chant, is not an outro so much as a worship extension. The parenthetical interjections ("the only way," "the only truth," "the only life," "King Jesus") function the way a preacher's ad-libs do over a choir, pulling the Johannine "I am the way, the truth, and the life" into the song's climax without ever stepping outside the groove.
Songs like this one rarely chart in secular markets, and they are not designed to. They endure because they do a specific job inside a specific room: they give a congregation a vocabulary for a doctrine (the Second Coming) that could otherwise feel distant. By ending on "I am not without hope" and "I have an endless life," the song closes where it began, with a believer's quiet confidence that the waiting is worth it.

"Jesus is Coming"
Jesus is coming
Receive the life of Christ
There is no higher life
There is no greater life than in Jesus
A head full of information
Hand full of money without Jesus
Is an empty life
Only them that believe in Jesus
Have eternal life
Receive Jesus today
Jesus is coming, Jesus is coming
Jesus is coming
He's coming again, He's coming again
He's coming again, glory be to God
He's coming again, He's coming again
He's coming again, glory be to God
I rejoice, I am so glad
That Man that gave His all for me is coming back
Let everyone hear
Let every heart rejoice

Let everyone hear
Let every heart rejoice
