Personal Jesus
No One Is Innocent Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 ere

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 and touch faith
Reach out and 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

Reach out and touch faith

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

Yeah, reach out and touch faith
Personal Jesus
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith
Yeah, reach out and touch faith




Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith
