Why Me Lord? Lyrics

by Elvis Presley

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 to deserve loving

You

And the kindness


You've shown

Lord heavenly

Jesus,

I praise

Him so help me


Jesus

I know what

I am now that

I know that

I needed


You

So help me

Jesus, my soul's in

Your hands

Try me


Lord, if

You think there's a way

I can ever 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 heavenly

Jesus,

I praise

Him so help me


Jesus

I know what

I am now that

I know that

I needed


You

So help me

Jesus, my soul's in

Your hands

Jesus my soul's in


Your hands
