Song 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 it is Great 
Yeah, yeah 
God it 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 a 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... 

and Yeah, yeah 
God it is Great 
Yeah, yeah 
God it 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 a bus, 
trying to make His way Home... 

Tryin' to make his way Home 
Back up to Heaven all alone... 
Nobody callin' on the phone 
'Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome... 

and Yeah, yeah 
God it is Great 
Yeah, yeah 
God it 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 a 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 trying to make his way home...
Nobody calling on the phone...
'Cept for the pope maybe in Rome.

This song is absolutly amazing. I'm a very religious person, but this song sometimes makes me doubt God. Makes me want to tell him to come down here to earth, just have him spend one day as a human being, see how life is down here. Maybe then he'll start working a bit harder to make life (at least for some of us) a bit more tolerable...
