Personal Jesus

about

A song I had great respect for in my live shows, since I just loved playing the riff and singing over it. The arrangement here was pretty close. to how i played it acoustically. It took some time though to get the instrumentation right and one of the positives here is LR taking over the bass duties. He'd only recently picked up a P bass and with our back n' forths i'd seen him playing a bass with new strings and a pick, which is something i rarely do....(sadly also playing with new strings)....my own bass take was solid but played with fingers and for this song i really wanted that harder edge and stronger transient you get from plucking a string with a pick rather than with a finger....

lyrics

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, touch faith
Reach out, 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, touch faith
Your own personal Jesus
Reach out, touch faith
Reach out, touch faith
Reach out, touch faith
(Reach out, reach out)
Reach out, touch faith
Reach out and touch faith
