Lyrics
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 to care
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
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith
