Song lyrics
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

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

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
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith

Reach out and touch faith
Reach out, reach out
Reach out and touch faith

Sprawling Western riff coupled with hymn-like chants. Morose and enchanting all at once.

[b]ok, j. cash's version is the best for sure. its really down to earth and honest. i love manson, but his version was too much for this song and the lyrics.

Well, DM wrote, sung and produced. I belive Johnny Cash was the first to Cover then Manson. Im not positive who was first, BUT IM positive it was DM who wrote and sung and produced this song. This is one of my favorites. My grandmother will argue you down that this is a Cash song, but she wont listen. Anywho.. I just wanna put in my Two cents..
