[Hook]
Reach out and touch faith!

[Chorus]
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

[Verse]
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

[Hook]
Reach out and touch faith!
Reach out and touch faith!

[Chorus]
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

[Hook]
Reach out and touch faith!

[Bridge]
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

[Hook]
Yeah, reach out and touch faith!
(Your own personal Jesus)
Reach out and touch faith!
Yeah, reach out and touch faith!
Reach out and touch faith!
Reach out and touch faith!

Brian Hugh Warner who is better known under his stage name of Marilyn Manson is a musician, painter, actor, multimedia artist, and former music journalist. His stage name is a combination of the names of two American icons, actress Marilyn Monroe and multiple murder conspiracy convict Charles Manson.

I picked that (Marilyn Manson) as the fakest stage name of all to say that this is what show business is, fake. Marilyn Monroe wasn’t even her real name, Charles Manson isn’t his real name, and now, I’m taking that to be my real name. But what’s real? You can’t find the truth, you just pick the lie you like the best. As long as you know everything’s a lie, you can’t hurt yourself.

—Marylin Manson
