Why Me Lord?

(Words and Music by 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 for 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 hands.



--- Instrumental ---



Try 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've needed you

So help me Jesus my soul's in Your hands.



Jesus my soul's in Your hands.
