One of Us Indeed
Parody of "One of Us" by Joan Osborne
(Philippians 2:5-8; Isaiah 52:14-15, 53:2-3; Hebrews 4:14-16)
God had a name - they called Him Jesus
He was born into this place just like the rest of us
You know His story
Why do you act as if you just don't get it?
And you, you - got His grace
You, you - got His book
You, you - you, you, you
Honey, God was one of us
He was not anonymous
And His name was called Jesus
It's time to make His name known
God had a face
It didn't look like any you’d wanna see
Isaiah said that He’d be lightly esteemed
And be rejected and be treated with disgrace
Like all of the prophets
And you, you - got His grace
You, you got His book
You, you, you, you, you
Honey, God was one of us
He did not look glamorous
When he saved us on a cross
Tryin' to make us a home
Dyin' to make us a home
Back up in Heaven on His throne
Nobody but Him could atone
So put your hope in Him alone
And you, you - got His grace
You, you got His book
You, you, you, you, you
Honey, God was one of us
Paid the cost for all of us
As the savior on the cross
Tired and naked, a-lone
Just dyin' to make us a home
Christ the holy cornerstone
Now up in Heaven on His throne
We've gotta make His name known
Somebody grab the microphone
Inform that poor lady named Joan
John 1:14
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory,
the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
