“One Of Us” Lyrics - Joan Osborne

Lyrics

“One Of Us”


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?


And yeah, yeah, God is great

Yeah, yeah, God is good

And 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

Tryin’ 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

And 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

Tryin’ to make his way home?


Just tryin’ to make his way home

Like back up to heaven all alone

Nobody callin’ on the phone

‘Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome


And yeah, yeah, God is great

Yeah, yeah, God is good

And 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

Tryin’ to make his way home?


Just tryin’ to make his way home

Like a holy rolling stone

Back up to heaven all alone

Just tryin’ to make his way home

Nobody callin’ on the phone

‘Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome
