'just a stranger one the bus'

Ek weet ek moet vandag se blog eintlik begin oor die Gemeenskap maar Johan se gesprek oor die vreemdeling en God se beweging in, deur en na die vreemdeling (vanuit Jona) het my dadelik weer aan hierdie ou classic laat dink. Kyk gerus na die video of lees die lirieke en indien jy vyf minute het, reflekteer vir 'n oomblik hieroor 'What if God was just a stranger on the bus trying to make his way home...' Probeer regtig om die vraag konkreet vir jou self te antwoord en om dit nog meer lewend te probeer maak vertel vir iemand wat jy goed ken wat die implikasie vir jou lewe sal wees wanneer God die vreemdeling is waarmee jy daagliks op verskillende maniere te doen kry?




One of us - Joan Osborne

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 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
He's trying to make his way home
Back up to heaven all alone
Nobody calling on the phone
Except for the pope maybe in Rome

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
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 for the pope maybe in Rome
