Lyrics

Personal Jesus [Single Version]

[Intro: Dave Gahan]

Reach out and touch faith

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]

Your own personal Jesus

Someone to hear your prayers

Someone who cares

Your own personal Jesus

Someone to hear your prayers

Someone who's there

[Verse: Dave Gahan]

Feeling unknown and you're all alone

Flesh and bone by the telephone

Lift up the receiver, I'll make you a believer

Take second best, put me to the test

Things on your chest you need to confess

I will deliver, you know I'm a forgiver

[Refrain: Dave Gahan]

Reach out and touch faith

Reach out and touch faith

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]

Your own personal Jesus

Someone to hear your prayers

Someone who cares

Your own personal Jesus (Your own)

Someone to hear your prayers

Someone who's there

[Interlude]

[Verse: Dave Gahan]

Feeling unknown and you're all alone

Flesh and bone by the telephone

Lift up the receiver, I'll make you a believer

I will deliver, you know I'm a forgiver

[Refrain: Dave Gahan]

Reach out and touch faith

Your own personal Jesus

Reach out and touch faith

Reach out and touch faith

Reach out and touch faith

(Reach out, reach out)

Reach out and touch faith

[Outro: Dave Gahan]

Reach out and touch faith
