Why Me Lord

Mickey Gilley · I Saw the Light [K-Tel] [1996]

My 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

And 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 needed you

So help me Jesus,

My soul's in your hand.



--- Instrumental ---



Tell me Lord,

If you think there's a way

I can try to repay

All that 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 needed you

So help me Jesus,

My soul's in your hand.



Jesus, my soul's in your hand...
