Why me Lord, what have I ever done
To deserve even one
Of the pleasures I've known
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

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 go 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 hand

Jesus, my soul's in your hands
