Píseň: Why Me

Interpret:
Kris Kristofferson
Album:
Jesus Was A Capricorn
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 hand


 Try me Lord if you think there's a way I can try to 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...
 Lord help me Jesus...
 Jesus my soul's in your hand
