Hearing this song for the first time, on the radio, was like a religious experience for me. I had just landed in Medford, Oregon, and was driving my rental car from the airport towards my hotel. I channel-surfed the radio for a few minutes until I found a likable radio station... within a few minutes, this song came on. I was choked up, tears in my eyes.... this song resonated in my spirit like an epiphany.... I forgot about going to the hotel and drove instead to the nearest record store I could find, and bought Joan's album on cassette. I still listen to the song regularly, 30 years later, and it still gives me goosebumps.
He was one of us. His name was Jesus, and He was the best of us. He saved us from ourselves because He knew we couldn't. He's my best friend, and He can be yours too. I love you Jesus :) ❤️
Lucifer convinced people he is Jesus and profits from churches and money....Adam doesn't give a shit...and god said don't worship false idols.... funny people that are in the church are driving around in fancy cars and suits....
My husband and I listened to this on repeat as we drove to my OB appointment to find out if my my baby had a heartbeat after suffering 4 miscarriages. That baby is now two ❤
@@GregHarrison-fx6zeI am so sorry to hear that. Infertility feels overwhelming lonely, but I found strength in knowing there was a community of us who can relate and support each other. ❤
"What a wonderful song about God !!" Beautifully done, beautifully sung Joan Osborne. Thank you. "May God keep you safe. Your family. Your friends. May God keep you all safe. Amen." God could be on the bus with you.
God and religion are two different things. one is created by man for control and the other is the creator of man for love free will is everything God gave us that for a reason use it wisely God bless much love
Eu sei que não tem nenhum brasileiro aqui, mas me deixem contar a minha história com essas música: Em pleno 2021, eu estava no 2° ano, minha professora amava essa música e um dia colocou na caixinha de som dela para a sala ouvir.. 4 anos depois agora que estou no 5° ano, reconheci essa música em um reel do instagram e resolvi procurar, então me dei conta que é a música da minha infância, por incrível que pareça sei toda a letra e estou muito feliz por ter a encontrado!❤
Listening to this song now at 46 takes me back over 25 years ago to my college days. Haven't heard it in years and it most definitely hits different as a grown woman who has experienced more trauma in my life than I could have imagined in my worst nightmares. This song helped me along the way. I'm stronger now, and grateful more than I ever was before.
I used to listened this before going to school while my Papa braided my hair. I was at 4 or 5 grade of elementary school that time. Now, it's been 2 months my Papa had gone since he lost the battle through Covid on Friday, July 9th, 2021. This song brings so much memories of my childhood and it becomes one of souvenirs that I can treasure to linger my bond with my Papa. Thank you so much Joan for making this MASTERPIECE. Love, xoxo Friday, September 10th, 2021 03:12 AM
This was one of the songs we listened to in English class when I was in maybe 6th or 7th grade and it'll never not make me think of my absolutely amazing English teacher I had back then. Thanks for being such a cool teacher, Frau Kielmann ❤️
I'm not religious. As a kid this tune rang in my head vaguely years after I must have heard it...when I finally heard it one day on radio, I touched heaven.
Pois peça perdão a Deus porque essa música é uma crítica a Sua criação. Quando ela diz que Deus é bom, é ótimo é um deboche. O que ela disse é que Deus não é perfeito, pois criou um monte de desajustados. Esse padre não deve saber Inglês por isso permitiu isso. Não se deixe levar pela melodia, pela voz bonita e porque fala o nome de Deus. O compositor da letra é ateu e debocha da fé em Jesus.
Probably nobody's going to read this but I have to say it... Three day before my dad passed away, we were on the car, he was taking me to church when this song came along on the radio. He started singing it. He smiled at me and told me everything was going to be okay. I miss him so much. Only God knows when it's our time to leave. 01/10/21 8:15 p.m.
Lyrics: 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 Tryin' 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 Tryin' to make his way home? Just tryin' to make his way home Back up to heaven all alone Nobody callin' on the phone 'Cept 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 Tryin' to make his way home? Just tryin' to make his way home Like a holy rolling stone? Back up to heaven all alone Just tryin' to make his way home Nobody callin' on the phone 'Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome
I was singing the song in the shower today and I've this epiphany Jesus said - what you did to one of my lesser brothers, you did to Me. If you feed him, you feed Me. If you clothed him, you clothed Me. If you've visited him in prison, you've visited Me. If you didn't do any of these things to any of my lesser brothers, you didn't do it for Me. And i was singing this song and thought what does it really mean. And i thought that if i love somebody too much, his pain becomes my pain. Distance doesn't affect it. So what Jesus was saying is that He loves us and feels pain of each one of us as His own. Same as child's pain is a direct pain of his mother. So if we harm ANY human, we bring similar or even greater pain to God. Maybe it's one of the purposes of this world, to see God in each one of us, His love, His care, His glory and His hope.
I'm going to say I was 21 after a body gard at mwc pool hall party my side arm Brian hatchel and Jason we was confronted buy a move or die so I drove us home way over the limit and made a safe understanding that never overlook a uncertain circumstance run and sit
@@nelid3185 You are correct.The Kingdom of Christ exists within you my friend . As Jesus said.. he came to give us this message. As it says in the Bible..as it says in the lords prayer... If we find the kingdom within there will be "Heaven on Earth" Peace to you❤
A Great song Joan. God is one of us, & he's here with us, especially where one or two of us are gathered in His name; He certainly answered my prayer the next morning, on the doorstep. greetings from Australia.
Nothing is more heartwarming to me than the thought of sitting down on a bus, riding along and talking with a total stranger for 20 minutes. And then realized after he got off at his stop.......that I had been talking to God. No angels, no trumpets, no thunderous, commanding voice, just two Dudes on a bus, enjoying each others company.
This brought tears to my eyes 🥹 couldn’t even imagine how amazing that would be! Especially whenever He says “Yep, I know. I know all about that…I know you have been going through it…etc.” knowing He *truly* does know because He sees it all and is walking with us (sometimes carrying us) through it 💝
Totally agree Been saved so many many times!! Wasn't any Accident!! Just an Opinion. Wasn't some damn liberal show Big Bang theory Screw that!! However, who the heck am I just the Person you see making a statement used To be GOD Country and Family What happened?
As many times as I heard it in the early days, it really never came off as sincere religious. I guess it was more the irony of what if God was actually one of us? Cool song in a stacked time of alternative music
@@timwest2539 you're right the fact that god is a human is a contradiction but I saw beyond the literal words and I saw the lobe the writer had for god that compelled him to write a song that depicts god in a simple way that anyone can relate to. But in the end GOD in all his glory there's nothing like him within the universe
Ouvir essa musica desbloqueou uma memória da minha infância: Eu estava deitado na cama da minha mãe à noite com a luz da área de serviço iluminando o quarto enquanto a minha mãe ouvia essa musica lavando roupa e um sentimento tão bom me tomando... era a letra que me trazia esse sentimento eu nem imaginava que era sobre Deus!
Secara tidak senGaja sebulanan yg lalu saya mendengarnya setelah saat itu setiap awal musik yang saya putar lagu inilah yang pertama setiap waktu luang ,dan saat saya putar ditempat orang banyak saya perhatikan mulut mereka mengikuti lagu ini sebuah karya yang luar biasa terimakasih joan osborne❤
- "O que você poderia dizer a Deus se o visse em toda sua glória?" Estava escutando um dia One of us de Joan Osborne, novamente diga-se de passagem, e decidi escrever isso aqui. Então pensei: “Por que demorou tanto? “ “Obrigado por tudo.” “Afinal, eu sou digno de viver isso?” Iria sinceramente, querer chorar e agradecer por toda minha vida, só por ter existido por conta dele. De repente, em um de meus devaneios naqueles primeiros 10 minutos, coloquei minha ideia em um papel e decidi escrever essa carta para alguém que quisesse ler ou escutar, decidi também compartilhar na igreja, no centro espírita e onde mais fosse necessário. Eu só gostaria sinceramente de que todos pudessem escutar essa música e compartilhar esse sentimento de alegria, agradecimento e verdadeira felicidade que de repente apareceu no meu coração. Já era um dia tranquilo, havia conseguido fechar um negócio com meu pai. Estava tranquilo com minha mãe. E minha esposa estava em casa, bebendo. Mas eu não queria confusão, então decidi só tentar escutar essa música e ter fé que com ela tudo iria dar certo e voltar ao local que deveria ser. Penso muito que a melhor forma de ser escutado por Deus é ter atenção e ser agradecido a tantas coisas boas que ele já nos permite. Neste dia inclusive, eu também pensei na minha vó e em um de seus últimos ensinamentos que ela me deu. Ela havia perdoado uma pessoa da família que a chateou a uns 10 anos atrás e essa pessoa, quando a foi visitar já no final da vida, pediu desculpas e se sentiu surpresa pela minha vó não ter levado o rancor. Eu vejo cada pedaço dessas situações na vida e vejo o quanto sou pequeno, o quanto eu gostaria de verdadeiramente estar mais próximo do que é ser Deus. Que pra mim é ser exatamente a união de todas coisas boas e atitudes verdadeiras e justas que possamos ter. Acredito verdadeiramente que por ser humano, é impossível de chegar lá, mas que a vida nos permite ser e viver mais próximo dele com os ensinamentos que ela nos dá. Eu poderia passar a noite inteira conversando, digitando e falando sobre o sentimento que essa música me deu, sobra a misteriosa vontade de chorar de emoção, sobre a vontade de explodir em um amor ao próximo. Mas, quem puder ler isso e quiser sentir um pouco dessa energia tão misteriosa e poderosa pra mim. Somente escute a música e pense. E se Deus fosse um de nós? Pai do céu, eu não tenho palavras pra dizer o quanto eu queria ter mais fé em você. Mas meu coração é muito humano e racional, queria ter coração de uma criança novamente... Eu trocaria minha inteligência pela inocência se ela fosse me deixar mais próximo de você. Eu sou apenas um filho quase sem fé para o que você merece de verdade. Obrigado Deus, pela esperança sempre presente em cada pedaço da minha vida. Eu te amo.
Joan used to live around the corner from me when I lived in Brooklyn. She was a frequent customer in my business. Very cool chick. I wish her well wherever she is.
Me and some friends did a show in high school wearing women clothes with this music in Brazil. It was successfully ...some years later I discovered the lyrics is about God. OMG , we did a blasphemy...
This song brings back great memories from the 90’s, cruising around Newburgh and Evansville IN with my BFF, Jenny, in her Mazda RX7 blaring the song and singing at the top of our lungs. Rest in Heaven. Jenny Rae Mitchell. 1975-2022❤
Quando eu era criança, devia ter uns 7 anos, meu pai colocou essa música pra mim e para as minhas irmãs. Eu fiquei completamente apaixonada, e queria ser igual a cantora. Tentei lembrar o nome da música, perguntei pro meu pai ( não sabia me expressar ), pesquisava mulher de cabelo vermelho cantando e nada. Até que desisti e parei de procurar. Hoje, com quase 17 anos, encontrei esse clipe enquanto estava escutando outra música. Estou muito Feliz❤
Bom saber que alguém jovem gosta dessa música, conheci 1 ano depois do lançamento, em 1996, com 11 anos, sou uma pessoa comum como qualquer outra, mas fico feliz que você jovem tenha encontrado algo tão belo de se ver e escutar, esse vídeo faz poucos meses que está em HD. merecia fácil uma versão 4K
Adorei, eu escutava chandelier de sia com 6 anos, foi uma alegria encontrar o clipe quando estava maior, eu só tinha um cd com a música, amo também essa música do vídeo
"The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of." John 1:14
"When you make two into one, and what is within like what is without, and what is without like what is within" ... and some other shit. Gospel according to Thomas 24. No idea what that's about either.
@albertd9216 lol tell that to the kids who were raped and abused by his followers while he sat back and watched. Your god is negligent at best and evil at worst
I have loved this song for years! As a Christian I feel happy that HE was (for a brief time) one of us and has actual "boots on the ground" insight into human nature that Satan never can have. Religiosity aside, it is a wonderful song!
Why did you capitalize "HE" ? How do we know if "HE's" not female. Or how about since he is the only god, why would be be one or the other? Wouldn't it make sense if he was non-binary? Like really non-binary. If he's the only one of his kind, what use would he have for a dick?
there is So Mega mega much to write down on this So much. can I message someone on here? how to connect to others here? Feels Soooooo 1-dimentional and lonely :(
Joan Osborne took this classic to #4 on the Billboard pop 100 in February 1996. This masterpiece should have been a #1 and would have before the sound scan era.
I remember when I was a kid and that song used to run on the radio. I've had no idea what the lyrics was about but i'm happy i came back into it some years later. Thank you very much for being a part of my childhood. Greetings from France :)
My 2.5yr old granddaughter is obsessed with this song I have to play it for her at least 10 times a day. It’s a little funny out in public her singing “what if god was one on us?” 12/24
I don't know if anybody is gonna read this but this was my nanas favorite song and she listens to it a day before she died and while listening to it she told me she would see me in heaven. Miss you nana ❤️
One Of Us (So one of these nights and about twelve o'clock) (This old world's going to reel and rock) (Saints will tremble and cry for pain) (For the Lord's gonna come in His heavenly airplane) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 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?

Growing up in the 90s I heard this song multiple times and it was just another song. almost 25+ years later. I just listen to it five minutes ago because the melody played in my head so I wanted to play it and I can just about agree with every single comment here. Listening to it now grown up and wiser, this song pulled out my heartstrings and made me tear up and still tearing up as I write this comment. Such an amazing beautiful song and I can appreciate now that I’m older.
I was in 7th grade when this was when this was popular and I distinctly remember many peers, even at that age, discussing and elaborating on the religious questions posed by the song. How exactly could you miss the piecing lyrics of the chorus and think it was just another song?????
I wonder,then, why the orient part of the roman empire once christian decide to convert to islam just not to be second class citizen.Weak faith? or more faith to more money?
@@MrNewman7336 Egypt was majority muslin only around the year 1000. And they wanted nothing to do with helping the crusaders bc europeens saw then as heretics and during bysantium rules did the same as Rome to the early christians.That facilitated the conquest bc their tolerance\indifference to difference of faith of christianity( and not just in Egypt) help their acceptance by larger populations of non muslin.The worms were already inthe apples! And no i am not a muslin just a fan of history( and a agnostic by self-education.
Heard this song at work the other day and it brought back memories, couldn’t remember who sang it so I had to look it up. As I recall it was sort of a one hit wonder, also had some controversy from the Bible loving people claiming it was negatively talking about god. Probably haven’t heard this song since the late 90’s. I was 12 when this song came out in ‘95. Times were simpler back then, no social media, not many people, at least where I live, had cell phones. Kids still hung out with friends and spent most their time out playing or hanging out at the mall. The older I get the more I look back at those days and realize times were better back then. People were better back then in many ways too.
This song is like a letter from someone's mind that stated very well about what Gods existence is. A beautiful masterpiece. A next decade, this would still feel brand new. 💕
when a song hits you in the chest, cleanly; dropping you to the floor, then you know you have a soul and you can still love. Thank you Joan Osborne for the refreshment to my soul.
Jesus loves you. I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. Revelation 22:16 ✝🌅 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 ✝🌅 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. Acts 10:43 ✝🌅
My dad has the CD of this song and we would play it all the time in a little white honda. I'm 16 now almost 17 I have that car and CD but the CD doesn't work. I remember this song at school and started listening to it and about cried. This song is way different now that I'm 16
I'd be honored if some 90s fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal RUclips performances of IF GOD WAS ONE OF US by Joan Osborne and BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY by the Verve in tribute to 2 standards of the mid/late 90s era. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace out and stay safe in the '020s.
Man...this takes me back to sitting in my dad`s carpet shop in Johannesburg in 1996, bored out of my skull with nothing more than a radio, 5FM and some of the best DJ`s in the world keeping me sane...Mark Gillman, Alex Jay, Sasha Marteningo, Ian F...thanks lads, you kept me from going under in that lonely ass strip mall called Stax Village in Alberton Town...
Muitos dizem que a Joan só teve esse grande sucesso, mas cara... Se eu tivesse apenas uma música atemporal como One of Us eu não iria reclamar não...Putz, icônica!
Inolvidable esta canción . Hoy un amigo me la tarareaba y no se acordaba cómo se llamaba la canción ni quién la cantaba, pero los dos la conocíamos! Después consulté a varias personas, lo averigüé y finalmente estoy aquí!!! Esta melodía está en el corazón de millones, saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
Antigamente a gente ouvia uma música linda dessas no rádio, não sabia quem cantava, não tinha como saber...era tudo difícil!! A internet mudou o mundo!!!
Verdade... hoje dá pra arrumar aquele LP que você queria, mais o que você nem sabia que existe, e de quebra ouvir aquele que detestava só pra recordar, tudo em poucos cliques.

My friend and I, the first time we saw and heard this song .. we absolutely went on some kind of ride that I had never experienced and not since either. We we inside that video. Some would call it psychosis but it was just a trip to awarness.
This was played at the end of my beautiful sister's funeral last Fri.... She lost her brave fight with breast cancer.... May everyone of us listening to this... Live life.. Love everything.. Laugh hard. .. and have no regrets.. ❤️🙏😇 Xxx
My deepest sympathy for your loss and this was a great song to sing at the funeral. I was not a great fan of nineties music with the exception of this, Oasis and the Corrs which stand out in my opinion.😁🎸🎼🏴🏴
Rosie Kane: Your Sister was a Victor, I do not consider She lost the Battle, She passed away, but She is in Heaven now, Victorious waiting to see You again.
I remember years ago riding the transit bus to work one morning when the driver played this song over the bus speaker system. Nobody said a word when the bus came to a stop. It was magical to say the least.
What a dinosaur! There’s tons of good new music. I love the 90s but I haven’t looked back. I haven’t listen to 90% of the music. I was so passionate about back then. Why isolate yourself in the past
There were so many great female singer-songwriters in the 90s. Joan Osborne, Sarah Mclachan , Alanis Morrissette, Shawn Colvin, Sheryl Crow, Fiona Apple, Jewel, Meredith Brooks, Melissa Eithridge, the list goes on and on!
O significado dessa música, pra mim, é muito mais profundo do que se pensa e nos convida a uma importante reflexão: e se Deus fosse qualquer um de nós? Será que agiríamos da mesma forma? Será que focaríamos nos nossos impulsos egoístas? Que obra de arte da Joan - e sem nenhuma pretensão de ser uma música religiosa. Lindo!
Deus foi um de nós, olha só para Jesus. Se a pergunta é "E se Deus fosse um de nós, o que ele faria?" Ele Já foi um de nós e nos mostro como devemos agir...😊
Wow was this you back then! This is so awesome! This song was interesting to me as a child. It helped strengthen my empathy and sympathy. Cause if even a God has hardships, we all must be kinder to life if we want it to succeed.
14 hours later a girl probably thousands of miles away from you had the same song just randomly pop into her head that she hadn't thought about since she was a child. ☺ blessings on your travels
God take away my pain , I can't take it anymore , my life is so rough , I wanna live a better life. Only you Lord , you can heal me and give me some peace .
I speak the Name of Jesus over you. I pray healing and Jesus can destroy every cell at the root cause. Give the doctors knowledge of what meds and help needed. Only you King Yeshua can do this Amen 🙏
@@nhandapereira4821right on the point, it’s about our personal relationship with Him, religion was and still be used only to control people and start wars, God is not about that, they just used God for that, all you need is a good translated Bible to understand things by your own experience!
I love this, and really needed this today. I found my best friends body one week ago and we're spreading his ashes on his pet cemetery today.❤️🙏 Thank you for this, Joan.
Sad that so many people don't realize that God did become one of us: John 1:14 New Living Translation 14 So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son. After having suffered and died to provide a way that we all could choose to be saved from judgment FOR FREE (Epesians 2:8-10)....though he won't be going home alone, his return is coming soon for all of us who chose to ACCEPT his FREE gift of salvation and listen only to him.
Бог у Нас внутри.Делать добро.Не смотреть ни на что.Можешь помочь-помоги-остальное.Бог внутри каждого из Нас.Каждую секунду.Не теряйте чувство помощи.И да можно помочь просто,без денег.Ты расширяешь силу-небесную.
"So one of these nights and about twelve o'clock This old world's gonna reel and rock Saints will tremble and cry for pain For the Lord's gonna come in his heavenly airplane"

A Masterpiece of the 90s, my childhood anthem, and one of my moms favorite songs which came out right before she was murdered. This song will always mean so much to me and everytime I listen to it I feel it’s a special moment I’m sharing with my mom. What a blessing.
La mejor música,con contenido real y súper atinado la combinación de letra e instrumentos...! Deseo volver al pasado pero con la experiencia de hoy que afortunadamente tengo 😇
Same with me! It is such a great song and it truly does have a deeper impact on me the older I get! It does make a believer wonder though...Could God truly be down here on earth? Maybe He's your next door neighbour. Or maybe He IS that stranger on the bus, just trying to make His way home! Just thinking about the possibilities makes my fill with so much emotion. How amazing and life-changing it would be if we were to actually know (and meet Him) that He was/is here on earth, just blending in with every one of his children. ❤🙏❤
@@carladavison7140 yes, God ( Elohim) did walk among us on earth, His name was Jesus, read all about it in the gospels, in the New testament Bible, be blessed

Hearing this song for the first time, on the radio, was like a religious experience for me. I had just landed in Medford, Oregon, and was driving my rental car from the airport towards my hotel. I channel-surfed the radio for a few minutes until I found a likable radio station... within a few minutes, this song came on. I was choked up, tears in my eyes.... this song resonated in my spirit like an epiphany.... I forgot about going to the hotel and drove instead to the nearest record store I could find, and bought Joan's album on cassette. I still listen to the song regularly, 30 years later, and it still gives me goosebumps.
😱😱😱😱😱
Ваш комментарий прекрасен и очень интересный. Хотелось бы узнать какой примерно был год, когда вы в первые услышали эту песню?

He was one of us. His name was Jesus, and He was the best of us. He saved us from ourselves because He knew we couldn't. He's my best friend, and He can be yours too. I love you Jesus :) ❤️
Actually.... his name isn't Jesus.... Jesus is the morning star Lucifer......God is god...Adam is the son of god...read your Bible dude
Lucifer convinced people he is Jesus and profits from churches and money....Adam doesn't give a shit...and god said don't worship false idols.... funny people that are in the church are driving around in fancy cars and suits....
...it explains this in the book... that Satan and Lucifer and the antichrist will control government churches and schools and teach lies....

@@alexrisk7129 read somewhere she grew up in a Catholic family. Don't know whether she's a believer though.
I read a story about God. He threatened to obliterate all life on Earth because a single human being had offended Him. Genesis, I think.
God and religion are two different things.
one is created by man for control
and the other is the creator of man for love
free will is everything
God gave us that for a reason
use it wisely

Eu sei que não tem nenhum brasileiro aqui, mas me deixem contar a minha história com essas música:
Em pleno 2021, eu estava no 2° ano, minha professora amava essa música e um dia colocou na caixinha de som dela para a sala ouvir.. 4 anos depois agora que estou no 5° ano, reconheci essa música em um reel do instagram e resolvi procurar, então me dei conta que é a música da minha infância, por incrível que pareça sei toda a letra e estou muito feliz por ter a encontrado!❤
Que bom. Memórias são tudo

❤ parabéns a você e a professora pelo bom gosto

Olha eu aqui...rsrs
Listening to this song now at 46 takes me back over 25 years ago to my college days. Haven't heard it in years and it most definitely hits different as a grown woman who has experienced more trauma in my life than I could have imagined in my worst nightmares. This song helped me along the way. I'm stronger now, and grateful more than I ever was before.
GOD is our way. its JAWEH.
Same here. And it's definitively a great song. Cheers from Portugal, Michele.
Thank you for sharing..😇😇😇

I used to listened this before going to school while my Papa braided my hair. I was at 4 or 5 grade of elementary school that time.
Now, it's been 2 months my Papa had gone since he lost the battle through Covid on Friday, July 9th, 2021.
This song brings so much memories of my childhood and it becomes one of souvenirs that I can treasure to linger my bond with my Papa.
Thank you so much Joan for making this MASTERPIECE.
Love, xoxo

I'm not religious. As a kid this tune rang in my head vaguely years after I must have heard it...when I finally heard it one day on radio, I touched heaven.
I'm listening to the song and I'm crying. Don't know why but it feels like I understood. God is in everyone of us, in all we see.

Esse som maravilhoso tocou no meu casamento, após a bênção do padre. Abençoado por Jesus e pela Joan! Gratidão, Senhor!
Pois peça perdão a Deus porque essa música é uma crítica a Sua criação. Quando ela diz que Deus é bom, é ótimo é um deboche. O que ela disse é que Deus não é perfeito, pois criou um monte de desajustados. Esse padre não deve saber Inglês por isso permitiu isso. Não se deixe levar pela melodia, pela voz bonita e porque fala o nome de Deus. O compositor da letra é ateu e debocha da fé em Jesus.

He started singing it. He smiled at me and told me everything was going to be okay. I miss him so much. Only God knows when it's our time to leave.

I was singing the song in the shower today and I've this epiphany
Jesus said - what you did to one of my lesser brothers, you did to Me. If you feed him, you feed Me. If you clothed him, you clothed Me. If you've visited him in prison, you've visited Me.
If you didn't do any of these things to any of my lesser brothers, you didn't do it for Me.
And i was singing this song and thought what does it really mean.
And i thought that if i love somebody too much, his pain becomes my pain. Distance doesn't affect it.
So what Jesus was saying is that He loves us and feels pain of each one of us as His own.
Same as child's pain is a direct pain of his mother.
So if we harm ANY human, we bring similar or even greater pain to God.
Maybe it's one of the purposes of this world, to see God in each one of us, His love, His care, His glory and His hope.
Which makes sense when he teached,"Treat others as how you want to be treated"
I'm going to say I was 21 after a body gard at mwc pool hall party my side arm Brian hatchel and Jason we was confronted buy a move or die so I drove us home way over the limit and made a safe understanding that never overlook a uncertain circumstance run and sit
i love your interpretation; wish it could be adopted by everyone!! and dont hurt animals or humans!!!
God doesn't exist. Free epiphany for you.
@@nelid3185 You are correct.The Kingdom of Christ exists within you my friend . As Jesus said.. he came to give us this message.

I just passed by 'Homeless Jesus' sculpture in downtown Austin & this song came to my mind right away
One of my very favorite sculptures!!
A Great song Joan.
God is one of us, & he's here with us, especially where one or two of us are gathered in His name;
He certainly answered my prayer the next morning, on the doorstep.
greetings from Australia.
If God walked amongst us, none but a few of us would recognize, let alone follow Him.
He was among humanity and they hung him on a cross.

@@Davidtibi4353yang terpilih hanya yang percaya
Nothing is more heartwarming to me than the thought of sitting down on a bus, riding along and talking with a total stranger for 20 minutes. And then realized after he got off at his stop.......that I had been talking to God.
No angels, no trumpets, no thunderous, commanding voice, just two Dudes on a bus, enjoying each others company.
This brought tears to my eyes 🥹 couldn’t even imagine how amazing that would be! Especially whenever He says “Yep, I know. I know all about that…I know you have been going through it…etc.” knowing He *truly* does know because He sees it all and is walking with us (sometimes carrying us) through it 💝
I feel ya my friend. Been there n still connecting w/total strangers GBU

@@timwest2539 you're right the fact that god is a human is a contradiction but I saw beyond the literal words and I saw the lobe the writer had for god that compelled him to write a song that depicts god in a simple way that anyone can relate to.

A letra dessa música é muito legal, não é romântica como muitos acham (quem não sabe inglês , claro)

- "O que você poderia dizer a Deus se o visse em toda sua glória?"
Estava escutando um dia One of us de Joan Osborne, novamente diga-se de passagem, e decidi escrever isso aqui.
Então pensei:
“Por que demorou tanto? “
“Obrigado por tudo.”
“Afinal, eu sou digno de viver isso?”
Iria sinceramente, querer chorar e agradecer por toda minha vida, só por ter existido por conta dele. De repente, em um de meus devaneios naqueles primeiros 10 minutos, coloquei minha ideia em um papel e decidi escrever essa carta para alguém que quisesse ler ou escutar, decidi também compartilhar na igreja, no centro espírita e onde mais fosse necessário.
Eu só gostaria sinceramente de que todos pudessem escutar essa música e compartilhar esse sentimento de alegria, agradecimento e verdadeira felicidade que de repente apareceu no meu coração.
Já era um dia tranquilo, havia conseguido fechar um negócio com meu pai. Estava tranquilo com minha mãe. E minha esposa estava em casa, bebendo. Mas eu não queria confusão, então decidi só tentar escutar essa música e ter fé que com ela tudo iria dar certo e voltar ao local que deveria ser.
Penso muito que a melhor forma de ser escutado por Deus é ter atenção e ser agradecido a tantas coisas boas que ele já nos permite. Neste dia inclusive, eu também pensei na minha vó e em um de seus últimos ensinamentos que ela me deu.
Ela havia perdoado uma pessoa da família que a chateou a uns 10 anos atrás e essa pessoa, quando a foi visitar já no final da vida, pediu desculpas e se sentiu surpresa pela minha vó não ter levado o rancor.
Eu vejo cada pedaço dessas situações na vida e vejo o quanto sou pequeno, o quanto eu gostaria de verdadeiramente estar mais próximo do que é ser Deus. Que pra mim é ser exatamente a união de todas coisas boas e atitudes verdadeiras e justas que possamos ter. Acredito verdadeiramente que por ser humano, é impossível de chegar lá, mas que a vida nos permite ser e viver mais próximo dele com os ensinamentos que ela nos dá.
Eu poderia passar a noite inteira conversando, digitando e falando sobre o sentimento que essa música me deu, sobra a misteriosa vontade de chorar de emoção, sobre a vontade de explodir em um amor ao próximo.
Mas, quem puder ler isso e quiser sentir um pouco dessa energia tão misteriosa e poderosa pra mim. Somente escute a música e pense.
E se Deus fosse um de nós?
Pai do céu, eu não tenho palavras pra dizer o quanto eu queria ter mais fé em você. Mas meu coração é muito humano e racional, queria ter coração de uma criança novamente... Eu trocaria minha inteligência pela inocência se ela fosse me deixar mais próximo de você.
Eu sou apenas um filho quase sem fé para o que você merece de verdade.
Obrigado Deus, pela esperança sempre presente em cada pedaço da minha vida.
Eu te amo.
❤
Chorei ❤
❤❤❤
Eu pediria pra ver minha mãe por 5 minutos e dizer o quanto sinto a falta dela 😢😢
Que preguiça de ler que dá 😅🙏

Quando eu era criança, devia ter uns 7 anos, meu pai colocou essa música pra mim e para as minhas irmãs. Eu fiquei completamente apaixonada, e queria ser igual a cantora. Tentei lembrar o nome da música, perguntei pro meu pai ( não sabia me expressar ), pesquisava mulher de cabelo vermelho cantando e nada. Até que desisti e parei de procurar. Hoje, com quase 17 anos, encontrei esse clipe enquanto estava escutando outra música. Estou muito Feliz❤
Que especial.

I have loved this song for years! As a Christian I feel happy that HE was (for a brief time) one of us and has actual "boots on the ground" insight into human nature that Satan never can have. Religiosity aside, it is a wonderful song!
Why did you capitalize "HE" ? How do we know if "HE's" not female. Or how about since he is the only god, why would be be one or the other? Wouldn't it make sense if he was non-binary? Like really non-binary. If he's the only one of his kind, what use would he have for a dick?
there is So Mega mega much to write down on this So much. can I message someone on here? how to connect to others here? Feels Soooooo 1-dimentional and lonely :(
She specifically says Jesus isn't God. Which I love. We need to put God first. God can not die
Joan Osborne took this classic to #4 on the Billboard pop 100 in February 1996. This masterpiece should have been a #1 and would have before the sound scan era.

By far the best song from ‘95. All of 95 was fab, but this? Anyone else had no chance.

Big call, so many great songs that year. Oasis, Wonderwall. Coolio, Gangstas Paradise, alanis morissette, Ironic.
Growing up in the 90s I heard this song multiple times and it was just another song. almost 25+ years later. I just listen to it five minutes ago because the melody played in my head so I wanted to play it and I can just about agree with every single comment here. Listening to it now grown up and wiser, this song pulled out my heartstrings and made me tear up and still tearing up as I write this comment. Such an amazing beautiful song and I can appreciate now that I’m older.
I was in 7th grade when this was when this was popular and I distinctly remember many peers, even at that age, discussing and elaborating on the religious questions posed by the song. How exactly could you miss the piecing lyrics of the chorus and think it was just another song?????

@@MrNewman7336 Egypt was majority muslin only around the year 1000. And they wanted nothing to do with helping the crusaders bc europeens saw then as heretics and during bysantium rules did the same as Rome to the early christians.That facilitated the conquest bc their tolerance\indifference to difference of faith of christianity( and not just in Egypt) help their acceptance by larger populations of non muslin.The worms were already inthe apples! And no i am not a muslin just a fan of history( and a agnostic by self-education.
Heard this song at work the other day and it brought back memories, couldn’t remember who sang it so I had to look it up. As I recall it was sort of a one hit wonder, also had some controversy from the Bible loving people claiming it was negatively talking about god. Probably haven’t heard this song since the late 90’s. I was 12 when this song came out in ‘95. Times were simpler back then, no social media, not many people, at least where I live, had cell phones. Kids still hung out with friends and spent most their time out playing or hanging out at the mall. The older I get the more I look back at those days and realize times were better back then. People were better back then in many ways too.
The 90s no words to explain it
This is one of those songs that I forgot about, but is such a great listen when you rediscover it. The video is great, too.
This song is like a letter from someone's mind that stated very well about what Gods existence is. A beautiful masterpiece. A next decade, this would still feel brand new. 💕

Happy new year-90's was a great decade for music I agree at any rate I recommend a song called 'Where I Come From' By Robert Nix right here on youtube
Excellent@denice🦅🍺🍷
Inolvidable esta canción . Hoy un amigo me la tarareaba y no se acordaba cómo se llamaba la canción ni quién la cantaba, pero los dos la conocíamos! Después consulté a varias personas, lo averigüé y finalmente estoy aquí!!! Esta melodía está en el corazón de millones, saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷

With this Jesus revelation that seems to be sweeping the planet at the moment, just goes to show how far ahead of things this girl is! ❤️🙏❤️
Antigamente a gente ouvia uma música linda dessas no rádio, não sabia quem cantava, não tinha como saber...era tudo difícil!! A internet mudou o mundo!!!
Verdade... hoje dá pra arrumar aquele LP que você queria, mais o que você nem sabia que existe, e de quebra ouvir aquele que detestava só pra recordar, tudo em poucos cliques.
เหมือนกันเลย เราก็ไมรู้เรื่องสักคำ
Como TUDO evoluii .é e sempre necessário.
Eu tava querendo saber o nome e pesquisei "yeah yeah rock antigo" e apareceu, a internet é incrível kkkkkkkk
Ontem mesmo estava lembrando como era agoniante gravar a música e torcer para o locutor não falar em cima dela! 😅 Bons tempos...
I remember when this was a HUGE hit and played non-stop on MTV.
And vh1
I'd be honored if some 90s fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal RUclips performances of IF GOD WAS ONE OF US by Joan Osborne and BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY by the Verve in tribute to 2 standards of the mid/late 90s era. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace out and stay safe in the '020s.
My friend and I, the first time we saw and heard this song .. we absolutely went on some kind of ride that I had never experienced and not since either. We we inside that video. Some would call it psychosis but it was just a trip to awarness.
Cheers for those good memories
I'll look into it dood !
This was played at the end of my beautiful sister's funeral last Fri.... She lost her brave fight with breast cancer.... May everyone of us listening to this... Live life.. Love everything.. Laugh hard. .. and have no regrets.. ❤️🙏😇 Xxx
My deepest sympathy for your loss and this was a great song to sing at the funeral. I was not a great fan of nineties music with the exception of this, Oasis and the Corrs which stand out in my opinion.😁🎸🎼🏴🏴
Woah, I lost my Mom to cancer too, in 1987.
Rosie Kane:
Your Sister was a Victor, I do not consider She lost the Battle, She passed away, but She is in Heaven now, Victorious waiting to see You again.
God bless..sorry for your loss.
🙏🎼💓
This taught me to hope against hope, and for that I want to express my thankfulness.
I remember years ago riding the transit bus to work one morning when the driver played this song over the bus speaker system. Nobody said a word when the bus came to a stop. It was magical to say the least.
That sounds amazing
That’s a pretty awesome story!
❤
maybe they just tired of life
@@adesashes7105 I can relate to this. So we hope in Heaven. Only by way of Jesus’s death and resurrection on the cross. That was our sins.
Pode passar o tempo que for más, essas músicas dos anos 80 e 90 será sempre as melhores... Alguém ai em 2021???
Sim.

This song from Joan Osborne never dies. I miss the '90s and the '80s back when music from my side of the past wasn't lame at all.
There's still decent music being made nowadays it's just that there's an INSANE amount being made, and in essence hard to get to the stuff you'd like.
Haha, there was a ton of the lamest music imaginable in the 80s and 90s! What we listen to now is the crème de la crème from the past.
Me too mate totally 😊😢❤
What a dinosaur! There’s tons of good new music. I love the 90s but I haven’t looked back. I haven’t listen to 90% of the music. I was so passionate about back then. Why isolate yourself in the past
Same when bands actually played instrumentals
There were so many great female singer-songwriters in the 90s. Joan Osborne, Sarah Mclachan , Alanis Morrissette, Shawn Colvin, Sheryl Crow, Fiona Apple, Jewel, Meredith Brooks, Melissa Eithridge, the list goes on and on!
Não adianta. As músicas antigas são as melhores 😌🎧🎶🇧🇷

como vc sabe?

Melhor Que tem !!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Yes, yes love ❤🥰
O significado dessa música, pra mim, é muito mais profundo do que se pensa e nos convida a uma importante reflexão: e se Deus fosse qualquer um de nós? Será que agiríamos da mesma forma? Será que focaríamos nos nossos impulsos egoístas? Que obra de arte da Joan - e sem nenhuma pretensão de ser uma música religiosa. Lindo!
Não seja ingênua... esta musica é o exemplo perfeito no qual muitos musicos zombam de Deus!!!
Essa é a reflexão da música. Deus como um de nós. Dentro de todos nós. Amar ao próximo como a ti mesmo. O segundo grande mandamento.
Que lindo o que você escreveu.
Deus foi um de nós, olha só para Jesus. Se a pergunta é "E se Deus fosse um de nós, o que ele faria?" Ele Já foi um de nós e nos mostro como devemos agir...😊
Perfeita colocação!

Wow was this you back then! This is so awesome! This song was interesting to me as a child. It helped strengthen my empathy and sympathy.
Cause if even a God has hardships, we all must be kinder to life if we want it to succeed.
14 hours later a girl probably thousands of miles away from you had the same song just randomly pop into her head that she hadn't thought about since she was a child. ☺ blessings on your travels

I am not religious, but I do love this song.
Deus não é religião a religião é só uma inversão humana
@@nhandapereira4821right on the point, it’s about our personal relationship with Him, religion was and still be used only to control people and start wars, God is not about that, they just used God for that, all you need is a good translated Bible to understand things by your own experience!
@@GeDilaw Jesus é a verdadeira Palavra de Deus ninguém precisa de religião, a religião só quer mudar o que não precisa em você.
@@brunoralf8399yes very true
Same! 💫
I love this, and really needed this today. I found my best friends body one week ago and we're spreading his ashes on his pet cemetery today.❤️🙏 Thank you for this, Joan.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your best friend.
My condolences.
May God Bless and keep you both
Sad that so many people don't realize that God did become one of us:
John 1:14 New Living Translation
14 So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son.
After having suffered and died to provide a way that we all could choose to be saved from judgment FOR FREE (Epesians 2:8-10)....though he won't be going home alone, his return is coming soon for all of us who chose to ACCEPT his FREE gift of salvation and listen only to him.
❤❤❤
Eu amo demais essa música! Está no topo preferidas. Dá uma nostalgia, vontade de chorar e esperança de que tudo melhore. God is one of us ❤️🇧🇷
Verdade 😓😓
🖤Vc citou-me em seu comentário 🖤🙃
Mais vai melhorar em nome de deus.pra todos .
Esos tiempos donde escuchabamos música de verdad, cn cantantes de verdad y excelentes letras
Hi Liliana, I recommend checking out a song called 'Where I come From' By Robert Nix
Sim ,aqui em Julho de 2024
Eu sou o comentário brasileiro que vc estava procurando ❤
Deus é Maravilhoso, gratidão 🙏
Nostalgia que ameniza a pressão dos dias atuais, anos passados que foram vividos em cada minuto esperando um futuro desconhecido..
Eu literalmente comecei a cantarolar essa música do nada e vim atrás dela
Nada melhor que uma boa música para seguir lutando nesse mundo louco
Amém.❤
Бог у Нас внутри.Делать добро.Не смотреть ни на что.Можешь помочь-помоги-остальное.Бог внутри каждого из Нас.Каждую секунду.Не теряйте чувство помощи.И да можно помочь просто,без денег.Ты расширяешь силу-небесную.
"So one of these nights and about twelve o'clock
This old world's gonna reel and rock
Saints will tremble and cry for pain
For the Lord's gonna come in his heavenly airplane"
Grew up with this as a kid and I never understood what a masterpiece it was.
Can now appreciate this I'm an adult. ❤
maybe you can appreciate that god is great is good to all of us.

Lyrics
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
And 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
Tryin' 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
And 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
Tryin' to make his way home?
Just tryin' to make his way home
Like back up to heaven all alone
Nobody callin' on the phone
'Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome
And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
And 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
Tryin' to make his way home?
Just tryin' to make his way home
Like a holy rolling stone
Back up to heaven all alone
Just tryin' to make his way home
Nobody callin' on the phone
'Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome
¡Muchas gracias!

A Masterpiece of the 90s, my childhood anthem, and one of my moms favorite songs which came out right before she was murdered. This song will always mean so much to me and everytime I listen to it I feel it’s a special moment I’m sharing with my mom. What a blessing.
I agree what you said about this song. I am so sorry about your mom. Hope they found who murdered her.

the older I get, the deeper an impact this song makes for me
Right. It's so relevant.
Same with me! It is such a great song and it truly does have a deeper impact on me the older I get! It does make a believer wonder though...Could God truly be down here on earth? Maybe He's your next door neighbour. Or maybe He IS that stranger on the bus, just trying to make His way home!
Just thinking about the possibilities makes my fill with so much emotion. How amazing and life-changing it would be if we were to actually know (and meet Him) that He was/is here on earth, just blending in with every one of his children. ❤🙏❤
Yeah as we advance in age and is coming to terms with our mortality...
