Why Me

Loretta Lynn · Love Is the Foundation [1973]

(Kris Kristofferson)



Why me Lord, what have I ever done

To deserve even one of the pleasures I've known

Tell me Lord, what did I ever do that was worth loving you

Or the kindness you've shown.



Lord, help me Jesus, I've wasted it

So help me Jesus, I know what I am

Now that I know that I've needed you

So help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand.



Try me Lord, if you think there's a way

I can try to repay all I've taken from you

Maybe Lord, I can show someone else what I've been through myself

On my way back to you.



Lord, help me Jesus, I've wasted it

So help me Jesus, I know what I am

Now that I know that I've needed you

So help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand.



Jesus my soul's in your hand...
