Personal Jesus
Jazzistic feat. Karen Souza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith
Your own personal Jesus...
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 and touch faith
Your own personal Jesus
Reach out and touch faith
The lyrics to Jazzistic feat. Karen Souza's song "Personal Jesus" explore the concept of finding an individualized source of support and guidance in the form of a "personal Jesus." The song suggests that everyone needs someone to hear their prayers and care about their struggles, and that this search is often driven by feelings of loneliness and isolation. The repetition of the phrase "feeling unknown / and you're all alone / flesh and bone / by the telephone" highlights this sense of disconnection and the desire for a connection with something greater.
The song also touches on the idea of confession and forgiveness, with lines like "put me to the test / things on your chest / you need to confess / I will deliver / you know I'm a forgiver" emphasizing the idea that a personal Jesus can provide a space for individuals to express their deepest secrets and find forgiveness for their sins.
