 What if God was One of Us?

Lyrics..to Video in my Links: Joan Osbourne


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

God is one of us.
And god is there we is.
God show us way through life.
God give us love and warm.
But this where a much fine text.
And this text say everything about god.

GOD BLESSING YOU.

I loved that song when I first heard it and its still as good now. If God was one of us, just a slob like one of us - nobody would believe he was God.

What if God doesn't come back with a fanfare of trumpets and angels rending the sky asunder? What if that bum begging on the sidewalk IS god and we walk right past him with scorn on our face? Makes you think.

Great post as always, DS. :)

Namaste

If God walked among us, I think the established churches would crucify him once again. He probably wouldn't quite fit into the doctrine of the day.

I'd ask him why he let the world go to hell in a hand basket..

I've never heard that one before DS.
I don't know that I like it much though.
I agree that most people would not want to know God, simply because they would be forced to believe.
Not so sure about the rest though.
Love

I think I would ask God why he has become such an absentee landlord. He spoke to the Biblical charactors I have read about all my life...why not us?

This in response to all of your lovely comments.
Thank you to start with.
They make me happy.

I believe God is one of us.
We are created in his image.
We are like him in all ways.

I also believe that Scripture is Philosophy....not History.
I believe Christ's life and death were the only literal things in that book.
The rest were just stories...or parables to teach us Spiritual Truths.

The Biblical characters...were just characters.
He speaks to us through those stories.
Not just through Scripture...but through every written word.
God inspires men to write...every story every written came from the creativity that God has inspired.
God has never went anywhere....he has been here all along.
God is Love.
When love lives and reigns in our hearts...God lives in us.
When we give love away....we are sharing God with each other.
God is Spirit...A Magnificent Spirit of Love.
Peace.
