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
