Why Me Lord?

Kris Kristofferson

[Intro: Ray Charles]
Okay, here we go
One, two, three, then four, five

[Verse 1: Johnny Cash]
Why me, Lord? What have I ever done
To deserve even one of the blessings I've known?
Why me, Lord? What did I ever do
That was worth love from You
And the kindness You've shown?

[Chorus: Ray Charles & Johnny Cash, Ray Charles]
Lord help me, Jesus, I've wasted it
So help me, Jesus, I know what I am (What I am)
Now that I know that I've needed You so
Help me, Jesus, my soul's in Your hands

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2: Johnny Cash]
Try me, Lord, if You think there's a way
That I can repay what I've taken from You
Maybe Lord, I could show someone else
What I've been through myself
On my way back to You

[Chorus: Ray Charles & Johnny Cash, Ray Charles]
Lord, help me, Jesus, I've wasted it
So help me, Jesus, I know what I am (What I am)
Now that I know that I've needed You so
Help me, Jesus, my soul's in Your hands (Well now)
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

[Outro: Ray Charles & Johnny Cash, Johnny Cash]
Jesus, my soul's in your hands (Mhm)
