[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
