"What If Jesus Comes Back Like That" is a song written by Pat Bunch and Doug Johnson, and recorded by American country music singer Collin Raye. It was released in November 1996 the fifth single from his album I Think About You.

The song is in E mixolydian (an E major scale with the seventh tone lowered by a half-step). Its main chord pattern is E-D/E-A/E.[1] In the song, the narrator questions how people would react to Jesus returning in the modern day as a hobo or a child born of a drug-addicted parent.[2][3]

Critical reception

Deborah Evans Price of Billboard gave it a positive review, saying that it "may be his most risky venture yet... a great song, that deserves to be rewarded."[4]
