One of Us

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?

I’ve always loved that song. Not that I think God is a slob, but I love how it captures the intimacy with God that we long for, and the way we mostly don’t think of him (nobody calling on the phone, except the pope maybe in rome.)
