what if god was one of us

The question "what if God was one of us" is the title of a song by Joan Osborne, released in 1995. The song deals with various aspects of belief in an anthropomorphic God by asking questions inviting the listener to consider how one might relate to such a God. The lyrics of the song ask questions such as "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?". The song became a hit in the US and around the world, topping the charts in several countries.
