Lyrics
So one of these nights and about twelve o'clock
This old world's gonna reel and rock
Saints will tremble and cry for pain
For the Lord's gonna come, in his heavenly airplane
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
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
Tryin' 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
Tryin' to make His way home?
Tryin' to make His way home
Back up to Heaven all alone
Nobody callin' on the phone
'Cept for the Pope, maybe in Rome
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
Tryin' to make His way home?
Just tryin' to make His way home?
Like a holy rolling stone?
Back up to Heaven all alone
Just tryin' to make His way home?
Nobody callin' on the phone
'Cept for the Pope, maybe in Rome
