Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
[Verse 2]
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there
[Verse 3]
Feeling unknown and you're all alone
Flesh and bone, by the telephone
Lift up the receiver, I'll make you a believer
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith
[Verse 6]
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
[Verse 7]
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone to care
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith
