Verse 1:
                 G                    C/G
	Why me Lord? What have I ever done?
                        G
	To deserve even one
                               D
	Of the pleasures I've known
                 G                 C/G
	Tell me Lord, what did I ever do
                            G
	That was worth loving you
                 D              G
	Or the kindness you've shown
Chorus:
          C/G                    G                      D                 G
	Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it so, help me Jesus, I know what I am
          C/G                 G                          D                     G
	Now that I know, that I needed you so, help me Jesus,my soul's in your hands
Verse 2:
                G                         C/G
	Try me Lord. If you think there's a way
                       G
	I can try to repay
                            D
	All I've taken from you
               G                      C/G
	Maybe Lord, I can show someone else
                                 G
	What I've been through myself
               D           G
	On my way back to you
Chorus (2 times).

And:
          D/                      G
	Jesus, my soul's in your hands.
