Lyrics: Why Me Lord
Album: Recorded Live On Stage In Memp
Artist: Elvis Presley
 

(words & music by kris kristofferson)
(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 to deserve loving you
And the kindness you’ve shown)

Lord heavenly jesus i praise him
So help me jesus i know what i am
Now that i know that i needed you so
Help me jesus, my soul’s in your hands

(try me lord, if you think there’s a way i can ever repay
All i’ve taken from you
Forgive lord i can show someone else
What i’ve been through myself
On my way back to you)

Lord heavenly jesus i praise him
So help me jesus i know what i am, oh yes!
Now that i know that i needed you so
Help me jesus my soul’s in your hands
Jesus my soul’s in your hands
