Lyrics

(Words & music by kris kristofferson)
(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 deserve loving you
And 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 hands

(Try me lord, if you think there's a way I can ever repay
All I've taken from you
Forgive 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, oh yes!
Now that I know that I needed you so
Help me jesus my soul's in your hands
Jesus my soul's in your hands
