Why me, [G] Lord?
What have I ever [C] done to deserve even [G] one of the pleasures [D] I've known?
[Am] [G] Tell me, Lord.
What did [F] [G] I [C] ever do that was worth [G] loving you for [D] the [Am] kindness [D] [G] you've shown?
[Am] [G] [C] Lord, help me, Jesus.
[G] I've wasted it.
So help [D] me, Jesus.

[C] Now that [G] I've needed you, so help [D] me, Jesus.
My soul's in [G] your hands.
[D] Try [G] me, Lord.
If you think there's a [C] way I can try to [G] repay all I've taken [D] from you.
Maybe, [G] Lord, I can show someone [C] else what I've been through [G] myself on [D] my way back [G] to you.
[Am] [Bm] [C] Lord, help me, Jesus.

My soul's in your [G] hands.
[D] Jesus, my soul's in [G] your [C] hands.
