Religious experience...

I had one on the way to church today.  I usually don't have the radio on, but had turned it on during my shopping yesterday and the first song to play was:

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
Trying 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 (*)

Trying to make his way home
Back up to heaven all alone
Nobody calling on the phone
'cept for the Pope maybe in Rome(*)

Just trying to make his way home
Like a holy rolling stone
Back up to heaven all alone
Just trying to make his way home
Nobody calling on the phone
'cept for the Pope maybe in Rome
I turned the radio off afterward and meditated on the words of the song.  I realized that no matter how you intrepret the word "God" that it speaks to a significant point about all humanity.  We are all the same.  We are just trying to get through life and the Universe, God, Cosmic Consciouness, whatever you chose to call it is there to offer guidance and direction if only we ill slow down and pay attention.  So let's pause and listen for the Great Mystery to speak to us and share our concerns with it from time to time.
