Why Me Lord
Beyoncé · Other Songs - Beyoncé
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.
Yes 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, Amen
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.
Yes 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, Amen
