Lyrics

[Verse 1]

So, one of these nights and about twelve o'clock

This old world's going to reel and rock

Saints will tremble and cry for pain

For the Lord's gonna come in his heavenly airplane

[Verse 2]

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?

[Verse 3]

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 tryna make his way home

[Verse 4]

If God had a face, what would it look like?

And would you want it see

If seeing meant that you would have to believe

In things like Heaven and in Jesus and the saints

And all the prophets?

[Verse 5]

And yeah, yeah, God is great

Yeah, yeah, God is good

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 6]

What if God was one of us?

Just a slob like one of us

Just a stranger on the bus tryna make his way home

[Verse 7]

Just tryna make his way home

Back up to Heaven all alone

Nobody calling on the phone

'Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome

[Verse 8]

Yeah, yeah, God is great

Yeah, yeah, God is good

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 9]

What if God was one of us?

Just a slob like one of us

Just a stranger on the bus tryna make his way home

[Verse 10]

Just tryna make his way home

Like a holy rolling stone

Back up to Heaven all alone

Just tryna make his way home

[Verse 11]

Nobody calling on the phone

'Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome
