Steal this and the only thing you'll remember is hell in all of its fury descending upon you.
Have a nice day.
This is something I have written for my older brother who died a year ago on Sunday, November 19th. The cause of death, was suicide.
My Uncle Jim and I sang this song at his Memorial Service last year.
'One of Us' by Joan Osborne
Additional verses by Caitlin Price and Jim Fowler Jake... We miss you.
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.
If Jake had a voice, what would he say? And would we listen to his words?
Could we forgive him now and give up any blame and our regrets?
Could we forgive ourselves?
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.
It seems like forever since we last saw him. And now that he's gone,
It will be so hard to heal and to listen to our pain and to believe it and accept
That he has left, but never gone from our hearts...
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.
Gone up to Heaven not alone. Just like a Holy Rolling Stone.
I'm gonna call him on the phone up there in Heaven not alone,
Up there in Heaven not alone, up there in Heaven not alone,
Up there in Heaven not alone, up there in Heaven not alone...
