One of Us

~Joan Osborne~

If God had a name

What would it be

And would you call it to his face

If you were faced with him and all his glory

What would you ask if you had just one question

Yeah, yeah

God is great

Yeah, yeah

God is good

Yeah, yeah…Yeah, yeah, yeah

What if God was one of us

Just a slob like one of us

Just a stranger on the bus

Trying to make his way home

If God had a face

What would it look like

And would you wanna see

If seeing meant that you would have to believe

In things like heaven

And Jesus and the Saints and all the Prophets

And yeah, yeah, God is great

Yeah, yeah, God is good

Yeah, yeah…Yeah, yeah, yeah

What if God was one of us

Just a slob like one of us

Just a stranger on the bus

Trying to make his way home

He's trying to make his way home

Back up to heaven all alone

Nobody calling on the phone

Except for the Pope, maybe in Rome

Yeah, yeah

God is great

Yeah, yeah

God is good

Yeah, yeah…Yeah, yeah, yeah

What if God was one of us

Just a slob like one of us

Just a stranger on the bus

Trying to make his way home
