One of Us by Joan Osborne is one of my favorite songs because of its deep meaning and heartfelt message. Every time I listen to it, I feel inspired to reflect on life and faith, and it reminds me to appreciate the simple yet important things around me. The melody is calming, and the lyrics touch my heart, especially the thought provoking question, What if God was one of us? It makes me realize that God can be present in our daily lives, even in the simplest ways, and that faith is something we carry with us everywhere
One Of Us By: Joan Osborne
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
