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

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
