Why Me Lord Lyrics

Artist: Johnny Cash
Album: American Recordings

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.

I am crying as I read this. My dad loved Johnny Cash. I searched Lord help me Jesus, not looking for this song, but for some help from Jesus.

I am touched as I read this. I am looking for Jesus right now. I need peace of mine and to become a happy person.

I have enjoyed Johnny's music since
I was a little girl and I still do!
He went through many struggles in
his life and it made his music so
much richer! Many times his faith
was tried by the temptations that
he faced, but at the end of his life
he was so strong in his faith that
it spilled over and blesses so many
people now, probably more than ever
now!

ive heard this song when i was little once or twice but never liked the old stuff...lately ive been getting into older and older music and a friend of mine had a johnny cash cd and i started to look it up and im finding that i love it! and especially this song...its just so deep and real! way better than the modern stuff, its like a balm for your soul :)

May our prayers touch each other as we ask God for forgiveness.
May we forgive and grow in the knowledge of our Lord.
