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
Now that I know
That I’ve needed You
So help me, Jesus
My soul’s in Your hands
