Joan Osborne在95年推出了一张结合蓝调、
灵魂及福音歌曲的经典专辑Relish(喜悦)，
96年让她得到了7项葛莱美提名。
97年时再度获得葛莱美最佳摇滚女歌手的提名。
当时在美国地区的销量就超过了3百万张。
专辑中的这首One of Us一举获得美国单曲榜冠军，
这首歌可以说是所有乐迷对于Joan Osborne最熟悉的一首歌。
此后的2年中，为推广这张专辑，Joan Osborne走遍了全球，
同时也饱尝了这首涉及宗教信仰的歌曲所引起的宗教纠纷。
她拿西方人心中无比神圣的上帝开玩笑，
用辛辣讽刺的口吻把上帝从神台上拉了下来，
用凡人才有的词汇调侃了一番。
尽管这首歌在排行榜上风光无限，
但她最后还是被唱片公司解雇。
每次听这首歌，心中都会泛起淡淡的伤感，
但又不可抗拒的喜欢上她声音里的那一丝丝绝望的挣扎。
越听越有味道的一首歌。
One of Us - Joan Osborne 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
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
he's trying to make his way home
back up to heaven all alone
nobody calling on the phone
except 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
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
except for the pope maybe in rome
