What Would You Do (If Jesus Came to Your House)

"What Would You Do (If Jesus Came to Your House)" is a country gospel song, written by Yolanda Adams, Errol McCalla Jr., Jonathan Broussard and Marcus Ecby,[citation needed] and popularized in 1956 by up-and-coming country singer Porter Wagoner.

Wagoner's version reached No.

8 on the Billboard country charts in the spring of 1956,[1] and was the higher of two competing chart versions released that year.

Also in 1956, another up-and-coming country singer, Red Sovine, released his own version on Decca Records, which peaked at No.

For Sovine, although the main chorus – What would you do/if Jesus came to your house/to spend some time with you – is sung, it was one of his first songs that were spoken, as most of his later well-known songs were.
