If I was Jesus
I'd be rolling out the red carpet
Calling on the trumpets
I'd decorate the gate

If I was Jesus
I'd summon all the angels
And polish up their halos
I'd plan a parade

(CHORUS)
I'd put a big ole welcome sign
On every cloud up in the sky
My arms open wide for you
Ready for the end
Of missing my dear friend
You walking in would be my favorite view
If I was Jesus, I'd want you home too

If I was Jesus
I'd wanna talk for hours
Then use my superpowers
To hear it all again

Tell you the reasons
Why life is complicated
But not a single part is wasted
Until it all made sense

(CHORUS)
And I'd show you all the work
You did there on earth
How all of Heaven cheered for you
I'd give you a set of wings
To help me do good things
Cause I've seen what you can do
If I was Jesus, I'd want you home too

But the truth is I ain't him
And though I'm happy you got it
I wish he didn't call you back so soon
Cause I needed more time
For sorry's and goodbyes
and I would have been better to you
If I was Jesus...
But I'm not Jesus, and I want you home too
