"Why Me?" - Kris Kristofferson

"Why Me?"

Kris Kristofferson (1936 - )  

"Why Me?"  *
----------

Why me Lord what have I ever done
To deserve even one of the pleasures I've known
Lord, what did I ever do
That was worth lovin' You or the kindness You've shown

Lord help me, Jesus, I've wasted it so
Help me Jesus I know what I am
But 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 go 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
But 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
