Mickey Gilley Lyrics
"Why Me Lord?"

(Words and 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
That was worth loving You for 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've needed you
So help me Jesus my soul's in Your hands.

--- Instrumental ---

Try me Lord, if You think there's a way
I can try to repay, all that I've taken from You
Maybe 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
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.
