[Intro: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
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
"Alright!"

[Refrain: Dave Gahan, Martin L. Gore & Peter Gordeno]
Reach out and touch faith
"Woooh! Oh yeah!"

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
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 tеst
Things on your chest you need to confess
Oh, I will delivеr, you know I'm a forgiver

[Refrain: Dave Gahan, Martin L. Gore & Peter Gordeno]
Reach out and touch faith "Oh, that's right."
Reach out and touch faith

[Chorus: Dave Gahan, Martin L. Gore & Peter Gordeno]
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares "Mhm!"
Your own personal Jesus "Oh!"
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there
"Oh, yeah!"
"Alright, Martin!"

[Interlude: Dave Gahan]
"Martin! Oh!"

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
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
"Alright!"

[Refrain: Dave Gahan, Martin L. Gore & Peter Gordenp]
(Reach out and touch faith)
Your own personal Jesus
Reach out and touch faith "Oh, that's right!"
Reach out and touch faith "Alright, come on!"
Reach out and touch faith
"Uh!"

[Interlude: Dave Gahan, (Daniel Miller)]
"Martin!" (I'm not crazy anymore!)
"Oh!" (I'm not crazy anymore!)
"Oh!"

[Outro: Dave Gahan, Martin L. Gore & Peter Gordeno]
Reach out and touch faith "Oh!"
Reach out and touch faith "Wooh!"
Reach out and touch faith "Mmmhm, that's right."
Reach out and touch faith "Come on!"
Reach out and touch faith "Alright..."
(Reach out and touch faith) "Oh, too hot."
(Reach out and touch faith) "Oh, that's right."
(Reach out and touch faith) "One more!"
(Reach out and touch faith) "Oh!"
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith "Don't stop now!"
(Reach out and touch faith) "That's right! One more!"
(Reach out and touch faith)
"Oooh, wow... Thank you so much! Thank you!"
"Oh, no... You guys are amazing..."

Depeche Mode are recognized as one of the most artistically influential bands of the late 20th century. Commercially, they have released 14 studio albums to date, and sold more than 100 million records. Their most recent album, Spirit, hit the streets in March 2017.

The band got their start in Basildon, Essex in 1980, and named themselves after a French fashion magazine. They rose to fame with hits that have become “Just Can’t Get Enough” (1981), “Everything Counts” (1983), and “People Are People” (1984), to name a few. One of their most famous concerts was at the Pasadena Rose Bowl in 1988.

Martin Gore has been the band’s primary songwriter since Vince Clarke left in the early 1980s (and went on to form Yazoo and Erasure). Alan Wilder replaced Clarke on keyboards in 1982, but left in 1995 (reinvesting his creative energy in his band, Recoil, which he had started in 1986). Since then, the band has comprised frontman Dave Gahan, multi-instrumentalist Martin Gore, and keyboardist Andy Fletcher—all of whom are original members.
