G                                       G7         C
Why me Lord what have I ever done
                              G                                       D7 
To deserve even one of the pleasures I’ve known
              G                      G7     C
Tell me Lord what did I ever do
                                         G                 D7                     G     G7 
That was worth loving you or the kindness you’ve shown


  C                                        G
CHORUS:   Lord help me Jesus I’ve wasted it so
                   D7                              G  G7 
  Help me Jesus I know what I am
  C                                          G
  Now that I know that I’ve needed you so
                  D7                                   G  
  Help me Jesus my soul’s in your hand


 G                               G7                     C   
Tell me Lord if you think there’s a way
                        G                                     D7 
I can try to repay all I’ve taken from you
                G               G7                   C
Maybe Lord I can show someone else
                                               G                 D7               G  G7
What I’ve been through myself on my way back to you

CHORUS:

CHORUS:
