Joan Osborne What If God Was One Of Us Lyrics

What If God Was One Of Us Lyrics

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

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 (*)



Trying to make his way home

Back up to heaven all alone

Nobody calling on the phone

'cept for the Pope maybe in Rome(*)



Just trying to make his way home

Like a holy rolling stone

Back up to heaven all alone

Just trying to make his way home

Nobody calling on the phone

'cept for the Pope maybe in Rome
