Reach out, touch faith

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

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

Reach out, touch faith Reach out, touch faith

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

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

Reach out, touch faith

Your own personal Jesus
