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
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 hand
Please try me Lord if you think there's any way
That I can try to repay for all the wonderful things that I've taken from you
And maybe that Lord yes maybe I can show someone else
Oh what I've been through myself on my way back to you
Lord help me Jesus...
