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.

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 :)
