Lyrics for Why Me Lord

Why me Lord? What have I ever done? To deserve even one Of the blessings I've known Why me Lord? What did I ever do? That was worth love from You And 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 That I can repay What I've taken from You Maybe Lord I could 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 Jesus, my soul's in Your hand
