Verse 1:
                                     
	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


Chorus:
                                                                    
	Lord help me Jesus,i've wasted it 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


Verse 2:
                                        
	Try me Lord.If you think there's a way
                        
	I can't 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


Chorus (2 times).

And:
          /                      
	Jesus,my soul's in your hands.
