Kris Kristofferson

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

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 needed You so
Help me Jesus, my soul's in Your hand

Ahh...an old gospel hymn that takes me back to the southern baptist church of my youth.

Thats the song but what were the spoken words?

Well, he spoke the words...Why me Lord, tell me Lord, and maybe Lord. I don't know what else you could be talking about. I've known this song for decades and I've never heard it sung any other way. Kristofferson wrote it, so I guess he knows how to sing it.
