One of us<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I suspect that no-one (including me) has this on their list of top 10 Christmas songs. However, the simple lyric of this song is right at the heart of the Christmas message. What if God were one of us? A young girl, a fearful fiance, a group of socially excluded shepherds and a trio of star-gazing misfits all had to answer it first time around. The first time I heard this song I had to stop the car, pull over and write down the title just to make sure I could buy it.<\/p>\n
