JOAN OSBORNE performing (WHAT IF GOD WAS) ONE OF US at Rochester Lilac Festival-May 2011

ONE OF US Lyrics - ARP
by Joan Osborne

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...

And Yeah, yeah...God is great
Yeah, yeah...God is sooo 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

Just tryin' to make His way
Just tryin' to make His way
Just tryin' to make His way... home...

(Unsung lyrics in this version)
Like a holy rolling stone
'Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome
