Why Me Lyrics - Merle Haggard

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 

Now that I know that I've need you so 

Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand. 

Tell 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've been 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 

Now that I know that I've need you so 

Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand.
