why me lord lyrics

The lyrics to the song "Why Me Lord" by Kris Kristofferson are as follows: 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
Or the kindness You've shown? 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 hand. Tell me Lord, if you think there's a way
I can try to 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. This song expresses a humble and grateful plea to the Lord for mercy and help, recognizing one's own shortcomings and the desire to make amends and help others on their spiritual path back to God.
