Why Me Lyrics

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 to be worthy
Of You and 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

[Outro]
Jesus, my soul’s in your hand

Watch this soulful rendition of Kris Kristofferson’s Number 1 country music hit song “Why Me” by the Gaither Vocal Band. Guy Penrod led the powerful performance at their Homecoming Concert at Bon Secours Wellness Arena, in Grenville, South Carolina. Be blessed.

“The Gaither Vocal Band is an American southern gospel vocal group, named after its founder and leader Bill Gaither. Founded in the early ’80s, Gaither Vocal Band is one of America’s leading faith-based vocal groups. While Gaither remained the only original member of the ensemble, many well-regarded CCM/gospel singers have passed through the band’s ranks, including Russ Taff, Guy Penrod, Wes Hampton, Michael English, Mark Lowry, and David Phelps. On March 1, 2017, it was announced that the Gaither Vocal Band lineup consisted of Reggie Smith, Wes Hampton, Adam Crabb, Todd Suttles, and Bill Gaither. Although the group started out recording contemporary Christian music in the 1980s, it became known for southern gospel after the popularity of the Gaither Homecoming videos.” (Source: Wikipedia)

“Why Me” Lyrics

Gaither Vocal Band

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 hands

Try me, Lord
If You think there’s a way
I could ever 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 hands
