Lyrics
If God had a name
What would it be, and would you call it to his face?
If you were faced with Him and all His glory?
What would you ask if you had just one question?
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 have to believe?
In things like Heaven, and Jesus, and the Saints, and all the Prophets?
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
Trying to make his way home
Back up to Heaven all alone
No one calling on the phone
Like a Holy rolling stone
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
Trying to make his way home
Like a Holy rolling stone
