Why me, Lord, what have I ever done To deserve even one of the praise of the Lord? 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? Lord, help me, Jesus, I've wasted it So help me, Jesus, I know what I am But now that I know that I've needed you So help me, Jesus, my soul's in your hands Try 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 Lord, help me, Jesus, I've wasted it So help me, Jesus, I know what I am But now that I know that I've needed you So help me, Jesus, my soul's in your hands Lord, help me, Jesus, I've wasted it So help me, Jesus, I know what I am But now that I know that I've needed you So help me, Jesus, my soul's in your hands
