God's Not One Of Us

I felt motivated to dig this out of the depths of my hard drive by a friend who did something similar. I wrote this mid-August after hearing Joan Osborne's song "One Of Us" for the first time in years. Not surprising, but I wasn't offended by it when I used to hear it before; being unsaved and "tolerant" at the time. This time was different. I think it all started when Matt and I jokingly changed the line to "Could you be more blasphemous?" and I ended up changing the whole song to follow suit. If you're unfamiliar with the song, you can find the video below.

I warn you - I'm no lyricist. Purely for amusement's sake. Whether that's just my amusement is up to you.

God's Not One of Us

God has a name, it is Almighty
And you don't deserve to say it
Because of all His Glory
In the sight of holiness, you would be broken

Yes, yes God is Good
But know, know that God is Just
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

No, God's not one of us
Could you be more blasphemous?
To compare Him to all of us
Should fill you full of shame

God has a face, but not like man's
And you won't want to see it
If you were to die in all your sin
Repent and trust the Gospel, and God will spare you

Yes, yes God is Good
But know, know that God is Just
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

No, God's not one of us
Could you be more blasphemous?
To compare Him to all of us
Should fill you full of shame
You don't deserve to say His name
Repent and quench the eternal flame
Of God's righteous wrath and rain
So save yourself some pain

Yes, yes God is Good
But know, know that God is Just
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

No, God's not one of us
Could you be more blasphemous?
To compare Him to all of us
Should fill you full of shame
You don't deserve to say His name
You sold your soul for worthless fame
Repent and quench the eternal flame
Of God's righteous wrath and rain
So save yourself some pain
