What If God Was One Of Us?

Yup, another song blog. Sorry, you're going to get these more often than not!

I heard a song today I haven't heard in AGES!  Joan Osborne's What if God was One of Us?

Here's the lyrics, they're quite amazing:

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 he is great 
Yeah, yeah, God he 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 wanna 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 he is great 
Yeah, yeah, God he 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 the Pope maybe in Rome.

I have always loved this song because in the LDS Faith, we are taught that we are all Children of God.  Which means, we are, by birthright, Gods and Goddesses of are own accord.  So, if God had a name, if he had a face?  Guess what, that's me, that's you, that's everyone.

So, what if God was one of us?  He IS us!

I hope with this new spin, we might find more love in each other and not so much hate.  Cause hate really sucks.

Love you all!!!!
