“Sorry, this seat is taken.”

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?

 

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

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

‘Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome*

 

God came to us in as low a position as possible. Born to poor parents who became refugees for the first few years of His life. God set aside all glory and power so that we can ride with Him on that bus to Heaven. Please don’t miss the bus and remember to be kind to strangers for some of those strangers may be angels (Hebrews 13:2).  Merry Christmas!
