Why me Lord Kris Kristofferson

1 Verse:
                G
Why me, Lord?
                          G7  C
What have I ever done,
                               G
to deserve even one,
                                   D7
of the pleasure I've known?
            G
Tell me, Lord,
                     G7  C
what did I ever do,
                                         G
that was worth loving You,
            D7                          G       G7
Or the kindness You've shown?
 
Chorus:
 C
Lord, help me, Jesus,
      G                   D/F# Em  D7
I've wasted it so help me, Jesus,
                         G   G7
I know what I am 
    C
But now that I know,
       G                            D/F# Em  D7
that I needed You so help me, Jesus,
                              G      D7
my soul's in Your hand.
 
2 Verse:
            G
Try me, Lord,
        G7              C
If You think there's a way,
                 G
I can try to repay,
                     D7
all I've taken from You.
           G
Maybe, Lord,
       G7           C
I can show someone else,
                           G
what I've been through my self,
       D7          G   G7
on my way back to You.

I know what I am

But now that I know,

that I needed You so help me, Jesus,

my soul's in Your hand.
