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 calling on the phone.
'Cept 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
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.
