 If  God had a name,  what would it be?
 And  would you call  it to his face
 If  you were faced  with him
 
  +9
 In  all his glory --  what would you ask?
 
  +9
 If  you  had just one question?
  +9
 Yeah... yeah...  God is great
  +9
 Yeah... yeah...  God is good

 Yeah...  yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah...

 What  if  God was one of us?
 
  +9
 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
 Trying to make his way home...
 Like up to heaven all alone...
 Nobody calling on the phone...
 Except for the Pope, maybe in Rome.

 Well  I found him  in Pensacola,  in a trailer  in the  sand,
 The  man from  the picture,
 He's  stained yellow in  my hand,  he's  stained yellow in my  hand.
 He  was squinting  and stubbled, and  standing in the door,
 He  said if you've come to take  the car  away,
 I  don't have it any  more,  I don't  have it any more.
 
 
 
 He's got the gospel on the radio, and the gospel on TV,
 He's got all of the transcripts
 Back to 19-63, back to 19-63.
 He said I sold my blood for money ,
 There wasn't any pain, But I just can't stand the feeling,
 It's in someone else's veins, it's in someone else's veins.
 Yay-hey etc...
 Mama took me aside, tried to change my mind,
 She said "don't waste your time, in looking,,
 There's nothing nothing, left to find, nothing, nothing left to find."
 So I left him in Pensacola, in a trailer in the sand,
 The man from the picture,
 He's stained yellow in my hand, he's stained yellow in my hand.

She said "don't waste your time,  in looking,,
There's nothing nothing, left to find, nothing, nothing left to find."
So I left him in Pensacola, in a trailer in the sand,
The man from the picture,
He's stained yellow in my hand, he's stained yellow in my hand.
