Intro: A     E    B7   E    E7   B7
                            
               E                A   
 Why me Lord, what have I ever done 
                  E  
 To deserve even one 
                        B7   
 Of the pleasures I've known 
                E               A 
 Tell me Lord, what did I ever do 
                           E  
 That was worth love from you 
   B7              E        E7
 Or the kindness you've shown.    
 
 A                                    
 Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it so 
         B7                  E    E7
 Help me Jesus I know what I am    
 A                         E            
 Now that I know that I've needed you so 
         B7                       E    
 Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand. 
 
               E                A   
 Tell me Lord, if you think there's a way 
                  E  
 I can try to repay 
                        B7   
 All I've taken from you 
               E                A   
 Maybe Lord, I can show someone else 
                        E  
 What I've been through myself 
   B7        E        E7
 On my way back to you. 
 
 A                                    
 Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it so 
         B7                  E    E7
 Help me Jesus I know what I am    
 A                         E            
 Now that I know that I've needed you so 
         B7                       A      E
 Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hands.
