I like the song but can’t unforget when I saw her in concert many, many years ago. She was a rude drunk saying she regretted writing and performing the song as that was all that anyone wanted to hear from her.

[Reno89519]

And correction, she didn’t write the song. Sorry.

For some reason, the lyrics have always been stuck in my head, “What if God was Snagglepus.”

[Ciaphas Cain]

Rush Limbaugh plugged this song during one of his broadcasts. He was impressed that a song about God was getting such good airplay.

I've seen a couple of videos of her covering Motown hits some years back...”Heat Wave” and “What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted”. She did a good job with both...I was quite surprised.

Never was all that keen on the song, but liked the intro which was written by John Sutter:

One of these nights about twelve o’clock
The old world’s goin’ to reel and rock;
The sinners gonna tremble and cry for pain
And the Lord will come in His aeroplane

Ho, ye weary of ev’ry tribe
Get your ticket for an aeroplane ride
Jesus the Savior is coming to reign
And take you up to glory in His aeroplane

Talk about your joyrides in automobiles
Of lightning speed on your motor wheels;
We’ll break all records as up we’ll fly
On an aeroplane joyride thru the sky

Ho, ye weary of ev’ry tribe
Get your ticket for an aeroplane ride
Jesus the Savior is coming to reign
And take you up to glory in His aeroplane

You’ll have to get ready if you take this ride
Quit all your meanness and humble your pride;
You must furnish a light both bright and clean
And a vessel of oil to run the machine

Ho, ye weary of ev’ry tribe
Get your ticket for an aeroplane ride
Jesus the Savior is coming to reign
And take you up to glory in His aeroplane.

During the “Motown Special” featuring their studio band (Funk Brothers), Joan Osbourne does an extraordinary cover of “What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted”

Such an amazing arrangement delivered with incredible passion, it far surpasses Jimmy Ruffin’s great original version.

He DID become "One of Us", 2000 years ago in Bethlehem.

For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things just as we are, yet without sin. (Hebrews 4:15 NASB)

I like ABBA’s One of Us:
