neuralisa (npub14lu…g6uw) - Do you think Martin Gore might have meant it this way when he wrote the original lyrics?

This morning my daughter asked what songs I liked when I was young. I told her: Personal Jesus. Original by Depeche Mode, but also Marilyn Manson, and especially the version by Johnny Cash.

I tried to remember the lyrics, thought I’d never get them right, so I googled them. And I realized – it’s different from what I carry in my head.
But maybe it could be like I remember it. Stronger, more direct:

You OWN, your, "personal Jesus"…
You ARE your own - personal - Jesus…
Reach in, and touch faith.

Not just “your personal Jesus” somewhere out there.
You own him. You are him. Always with you, always listening.

This small morning thought made may day
