Singalong! What if God Was One of Us by Joan Osborne

Remember when Joan Osborne made us all re-examine the potential for the divinity of strangers and whether God was sitting beside the phone like a single girl in the 60's? I do.

WHAT IF GOD WAS ONE OF US

by Joan Osborne

[oh...

one of these nights at about twelve o'clock

this whole earth's gonna reel and rock...

things thay'll tremble and cry for pain

for the Lord's gonna come in his heavenly airplane.]

If God had a name, what would it be

And would you call it to His face

If you were faced with Him in 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 want to see

If seeing meant that you would have to believe

In things like Heaven and in 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

Tryin' to make His way home

Back up to Heaven all alone

Nobody callin' on the phone
