Why Me, Lord?

Why Me, Lord?

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

Tell 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

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

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
