Lyrics

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 to

Be worthy of 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

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

Jesus my soul's in your hand
