Why Me

Hank Snow · Hello Love [RCA Victor] [1974]

(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

Of the kindness you've shown.



Lord, help me Jesus I've wasted it

So help me Jesus I know what I am

But now that I know that I've needed you so

Help me Jesus my soul's in your hand.



Please try me Lord, if you think there's any way that I can try to repay

For all the wonderful things that I've taken from you

And maybe that Lord, yes maybe I can show someone else

Oh, 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

But now that I know that I've needed you so

Help me Jesus my soul's in your hand...
