Why Me, Lord?

 

Kris Kristofferson

I made it to 71 in good health (less hair lol!) and I now have the best job I ever had. Being Pa Pa to 4 grand kids and twin great grand kids! I had been told that my 3 year old Evan listens to my CDs all the time and the other day while riding in the car with him I heard him singing along to this song and realized he new the words and was singing harmony of all things! So I asked if he wanted to make a video and he said yes, so here is our video together. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it!

Why me Lord & I need Thee Every Hour
Kris Kristofferson and the other Highwaymen sing "Why Me Lord?"

lyrics

Why me Lord?
What have I ever done
To deserve even one
Of the pleasure I've known
Tell me Lord
What did I ever do
That was worth lovin' you
For the kindness you've shown

Lord help me Jesus
I've wasted it so help me Jesus

I know what I am
But now that I know
That I needed you so help me Jesus
My souls in your hand

Try me Lord
If you think there's a way
I can try to repay
All I've takin' 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
But now that I know
That I needed you so help me Jesus
My souls in your hand

Lord help me Jesus
I've wasted it so help me Jesus
I know what I am

But now that I know

That I needed you so help me Jesus
My souls in your hand


Jesus, my soul's in your hands

What is the Story Behind the Song 'Why Me Lord' by Kris Kristofferson?

The song “Why Me Lord” was written and recorded by the great Kris Kristofferson. It was a very powerful song that touched everyone to the bone. He recorded it in 1972, and by 1973, it became the biggest of Kristofferson’s career.

Kristoffer "Kris" Kristofferson (born June 22, 1936) is an American musician, actor, and writer. He is known for hits such as "Me and Bobby McGee", "For the Good Times", "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down", and "Help Me Make It Through the Night".
