Why Me, Lord

Ray Charles · Rare Genius: The Undiscovered Masters [1959]

Why me, Lord?

What have I ever done

To deserve even one of the blessings I've known

Why me, Lord?

What have I ever do

That was worth love from 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've needed You so

Help me, Jesus, my soul's in Your hands



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

That I can ever repay what I've taken from You

Maybe Lord, I could 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

What I am

And now that I know that I've needed You so

Help me, Jesus, my soul's in Your hands



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
