    This song explores theological questions about God's nature and identity. It asks what God's name would be, what God would look like, and what one question the singer would ask if facing God. The chorus reflects that while God is great and good, what if God was simply a normal person like anyone else, "just a slob like one of us," struggling to get home like a stranger on a bus. The song ponders how beliefs about heaven, Jesus, and other religious figures might be impacted if God had a literal physical form and presence among people.

    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...
    Like up to heaven all alone...
    Nobody calling on the phone...
    Except for the Pope, maybe in Rome.
