"One Of Us" Joan Osborne

It's been just long enough that this song from the album "Relish" could be useful!!
It generated huge response on Aussie talkback radio where people rang in and poured out their stories of pain, struggle and loss... asking... where is God in all this?

A great Advent Question...

"One of Us" Joan Osborne

“ONE OF US” 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

(*)
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


What's one question you'd ask God if you had the chance?
What is your picture or image of Jesus?
What does 'God One of Us' really mean to you?
