Verse 1:
         C          F/C
Why me Lord? What have i ever done?
            C
To deserve even one
                G
Of the pleasures i've known
         C         F/C
Tell me Lord.What did i ever do
              C
That was worth loving you
         G       C
Or the kindness you've shown

Chorus:
     F/C          C           G         C
Lord help me Jesus,i've wasted it so help me Jesus,i know what i am
     F/C        C             G           C
Now that i know,that i needed you so help me Jesus,my soul's in your hands


Verse 2:
        C            F/C
Try me Lord.If you think there's a way
            C
I can't try to repay
              G
All i've taken from you
        C          F/C
Maybe Lord.I can show someone else
                 C
What i've been through myself
        G      C
On my way back to you


Chorus (2 times).

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