[Verse 1]
N.C.                   G C G   C
Why Me Lord? What have I e-ver done?
                G                          D7
To deserve even one, of the pleasures I've known.
G                             C
Tell me Lord, what did I ever do?
                  G           D7              G      G
To deserve loving you and the kindness you've shown...

[Chorus]
C                        G
Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it.
           D7                   G    G
So help me Jesus, I know what I am..
C                       G
Now that I know that: I needed you.
            D                        G
So, help me Jesus, my soul's in your hands.

  Try me Lord, if you think there's a way.
             G                        D7   D7
I can ever repay, all I've taken from you.
G                              C
Maybe Lord, I can show someone else.
                         G           D7          G    G
What I've been through myself, on my way back to you...

Lord help me Jesus I've wasted it.
            D7                   G    G
So, help me Jesus, I know what I am, oh yeah!
C                       G
Now that I know that: I needed you.
            D7                       G      G
So, help me Jesus, my soul's in your hands.
