Epiphany... behind the wheel...

Glorious Day- Embrace

Who could send something so pure to lure me away
I fought the last of my breath
But you came along on a glorious day
By the time that you left I was crawling again
Yeah you came along on a glorious day
Now I want you to save me again

Ooh oooh ohhh

The fire that they said would burn just lights up the way
I lie in the place where I fell
And three years on this nine day wonder won't go away
Till you bring an end to my hell

But you came along on a glorious day
By the time that you left I was crawling again
Yeah you came along on a glorious day
Now I want you to save me again

Let them all keep their plans
Cos all I want is in my hands
And I can't look down
Back then I had it all, now I want it back that's all
And I can't get out

Ooh oooh ohhh

You came along, on a glorious day
By the time that you left
I was crawling again
Yeah you came along on a glorious day
Now I want you to save me again
Now I want you to save me again
Now I want you to save me again

I was driving the other day and I heard Joan Osbourne mournfully dole out If God was one of us and it got me thinking...

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? (These are the opening lyrics of the song, not my questions...).

Interesting, isn't it?

I always liked that song. I remember reading a poem a couple of years ago, that had a similar theme. I can't seem to find it anywhere.
It asked what you'd do if God came to stay with you for a day. Whether you'd still act the same, dress the same, talk the same and go about your day to day business as before.

It was thought provoking. :)
