INTRO chord (strum once): E

       E               E-E7-E  A                   E
Why me Lord, what have I ever done to deserve even one
                       B7
Of the pleasures I've known
         E             E-E7-E  A                       E
Tell me Lord, what did I ever do that was worth loving You
        B7               E            E7
And the kindness You've shown


CHORUS:
A             A7          E        E7 E    E7  B7
Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it so help me Jesus
               E          E7
I know what I am
A           A7             E         E7  E   E7   B7
Now that I know that I've needed You so help me Jesus
                   E            E7
My soul's in Your hand


       E               E    E7    E  A                  E
Try me Lord, if You think there's a way I could ever repay
                    B7
All I've taken from You
        E           E   E7-E    A                         E
Maybe Lord, I can show someone else what I've been thru myself
       B7          E
On my way back to You


CHORUS (2x)

B7 (let ring)            A..........E
Jesus, my soul's in Your hand
