what if GOd was one of us?

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?

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

Trying to make his way home
Back up to heaven all alone
Nobody callin' on the phone
'cept for the Pope maybe in Rome

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 rollin' stone
Back up to heaven all alone
Just trying to make his way home

Nobody callin' on the phone
'cept for the Pope maybe in Rome...

GREAT song ... I love it :O)

God is each and every of us.

God watches you from every pair of eyes you pass.

God looks at you from the mirror each morning. God is not in the universe She is the universe.

She created the universe from the only thing that She had available, Herself.

You and the most distant star from you in the universe both exist within the idea of God.

This is a difficult concept for most people to comprehend because they have been taught nonsense about God. Like the idea that God lives far away on a cloud called heaven. God is not a raindrop. Raindrops live in clouds Not God. This is foolishness.

Jesus told us that the kingdom of God is within us. This is true because each and every one of us exist as a part of God. We live and move within our loving source. There is no moment or possibility that we can ever be apart from her.

Forget the silly stories that you have been told about a distant God that lives in the clouds. Look around you. Everything that you see is God.

Love and blessings.

God and slob is a contradiction in terms. Any slob I ever met was one because he kept failing at attempting to change. When're you gonna start? ( Ha. )

Well, He would be just like us...just like you or me...he would be a slob just like one of us, just a stranger on the bus trying to make his way home.

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is every bit like us, except without sin. He knows exactly what human beings go throughin this world, because He lived for 33 years on earth as man.

If God was one of us... He'd probably be pretty disappointed because not only would we not help him find his way home we would probably kick him off the bus, call him all kinds of nasty names, maybe spit on him, tell him to get a job and take a shower, and who knows what other vile things. What would you think of us if you were God?

Personally I would like to see him incinerate some jerk every once in a while, but I think he's just been taking a vactaion for the last millenium or two.

How perceptive of you.
Go read any of the precreation stories and they will all read about the same.
The self Created one(GOD,THE CREATOR OF ALL THINGS )grew bored and Spun Off sparks of its self which became the souls of all that were and will be.
Therefore Our souls are a tiny Facet of the CREATOR
