Joan Osborne - Relish

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

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...
He's trying to make his way home,
back up to heaven all alone...
Nobody calling on the phone,
except for the pope maybe in Rome.

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.
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,
except for the pope maybe in Rome.
