One of Us (1995) by Joan Osborne – artist, lyrics, video, Wiki-1, Wiki-2

So one of these nights and about twelve o’clock

This old world’s going to reel and rock

Saints will 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?

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? 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?

(Just?) tryin’ to make His way home

Back up to Heaven all alone

Nobody callin’ on the phone

‘Cept 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?

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
