Why me Lord?
What have I ever done
To deserve even one
Of the pleasures, I've knownTell 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 who 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
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
Lord help me Jesus
I've wasted it so
Help me Jesus
I know what I am, what I am
Now that I know
That I've needed you so
Help me Jesus
My soul's in your hand
I need you Lord
Jesus, my soul's in your hand
