I heard this song by Joan Osborne while watching an episode called RAMPAGE from the show 'Cold Case'. This was from season 4 and this song was at the closing of this episode.
What if God was one of us.
Simply outstanding and this is the original video for the song Lyrics are below.
The album version starts off with four lines from a Gospel music song "The Heavenly Aeroplane":
- Oh, one of these nights at about twelve o'clock
- This whole earth is gonna reel and rock
- Saints will tremble and cry for pain
- For the Lord's gonna come in his heaven airplane.
[The thing she says at the beginning:
one of these nights at about twelve o'clock
this whole earth's gonna reel and rock...
things thay'll tremble and cry for pain
for the Lord's gonna come in his heavenly airplane.]
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 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
Trying to make his way home
Back up to heaven all alone
Nobody calling on the phone
'cept for the Pope maybe in Rome
And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
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
'cept for the Pope maybe in Rome
