WHY ME LORD
By Kris Kristofferson


Why me Lord?
(C) What have I (C7) ever (F) done to deserve even (C) one,
Of the pleasures I've (G7) known?
Tell me Lord,
(C) What did I (C7) ever (F) do to deserve loving (C) you,
And the kindness you've (G7) shown. (C) (C7)

Chorus:
(F) Lord help me Jesus I've (C) wasted it so,
Help me (G7) Jesus, you know what I (C) am.  (C7)
Now (F) that I know that I've (C) needed you so,
Help me (G7) Jesus my soul's in your (C) hands.

Try me Lord,
If you think there's a way I can ever 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.

Chorus

Jesus my soul's in your hands.
