Why Me Lord Lyrics by Elvis Presley

(words & music by kris kristofferson)
(why me lord? what have I ever done
To deserve even one of the pleasures Ive known
Tell me lord what did I ever do to deserve loving you
And the kindness youve 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 souls in your hands

(try me lord, if you think theres a way I can ever repay
All Ive taken from you
Forgive lord I can show someone else
What Ive 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 souls in your hands
Jesus my souls in your hands
