Chords

Song has a 6/8 beat with some minor exceptions. [Verse 1]
              G
Why me Lord?

                 C
What have I ever done

                G
To deserve even one

                      D
Of the pleasures I've known?

                  G
And tell me Lord

                C
What did I ever do

                      G
That was worth loving you

       D               G
Or the kindness you've shown?
[Chorus]
C                        G
Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it so

        D       D7          G
Help me Jesus I know what I am

C                      G
Now that I know that I needed you so

        D         D7             G
Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand.
[Verse 2]
D               G
- Tell me Lord

                       C
If you think there's a way

                G
I can try to repay

                        D
All the kindness you've shown

            G
Maybe Lord

                   C
I can show someone else

                          G
What I've been through myself

      D           G
On my way back to you.
[Chorus]
C                        G
Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it so

        D                   G
Help me Jesus I know what I am

C                      G
Now that I know that I needed you so

        D                        G
Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand.
[Outro]
D                         C  Am  D  G
Jesus, my soul's in your haaaaaaaaaaand.
