Why Me Lord | Catholic Worship Hymn

#CountryClassic #KrisKristofferson #CatholicHymns

"Why Me Lord" is an American country and gospel song written and recorded by American country music singer and songwriter Kris Kristofferson.

Recorded by Kristofferson in 1972, it featured backing vocals by his soon-to-be wife Rita Coolidge and up-and-coming singer-songwriter Larry Gatlin. It was released on the album Jesus Was a Capricorn in 1973, and became the biggest hit of his career.

According to country music historian Bill Malone, Kristofferson wrote the song during an emotionally low period of his life after having attended a religious service conducted by the Rev. Jimmie Rogers Snow.

Here's the lyrics for you to sing along:

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 needed you
So help me Jesus, my soul's in Your hand

Try 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 needed you
So help me Jesus, my soul's in Your hand

Lord, help me Jesus, I've wasted it
So help me Jesus, I know what I am
Now that I know that I've needed you
So help me Jesus, my soul's in Your hand

Jesus, my soul's in Your hand
