Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Why me Lord?
What have I ever done
To deserve even one
Of the pleasures I've known?
[Verse 2]
Tell me Lord
What did I ever do
That was worth lovin' you
All the kindness you've shown?
[Chorus]
Lord help me Jesus
I've wasted it so help me Jesus
I know what I am
And now that I know
That I've needed you so help me Jesus
My soul's in your hands
[Verse 3]
Try me Lord
If you think there's a way
I can try to repay
All I've taken from you
[Verse 4]
Maybe Lord
I can show someone else
What I've been through myself
On my way back to you
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Lord help me Jesus
I've wasted it so help me Jesus
I know what I am
And now that I know
That I've needed you so help me Jesus
My soul's in your hands
Jesus, my soul's in your hands
