lyrics version 1
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 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 needed you so
Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand
Tell me Lord, if you think there's a way
I can try to repay
All 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
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 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 needed you so
Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand
Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it so
Help me Jesus, I know what I am
Now that I know that I needed you so
Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand
To deserve even one
Of the pleasures I've known
Tell me Lord, what did I ever do
That was 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 needed you so
Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand
Tell me Lord, if you think there's a way
I can try to repay
All 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
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 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 needed you so
Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand
Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it so
Help me Jesus, I know what I am
Now that I know that I needed you so
Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand
