Lyrics

Why me Lord, what have I ever doneTo deserve even oneOf the pleasures I’ve knownTell me Lord, what did I ever doThat was worth loving youOr the kindness you’ve shown.

Lord help me Jesus, I’ve wasted it soHelp me Jesus I know what I amNow that I know that I’ve need you soHelp me Jesus, my soul’s in your hand.

Tell me Lord, if you think there’s a wayI can try to repayAll I’ve taken from youMaybe Lord, I can show someone elseWhat I’ve been through myselfOn my way back to you.

Lord help me Jesus, I’ve wasted it soHelp me Jesus I know what I amNow that I know that I’ve need you soHelp me Jesus, my soul’s in your hand.
