[ One of these nights at about twelve o'clock
this whole earth's gonna reel and rock...
Things they'll tremble and cry for pain,
for the Lord's gonna come in his heavenly airplane. ] [1]

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? [2]

And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
And 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? [3]

And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
And 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
