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 hands


Try me, Lord

If You think there's a way

I could ever 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 hands


Now that I know

That I've needed You

So help me, Jesus

My soul's in Your hands
