[Verse 1]
D                          A/E  G
  Why me Lord, what have I ever done?
                D                          A
To deserve even one, of the pleasures I've known
A7        D                     G
  Tell me Lord, what did I ever do?
                D           A7              D
To be worthy of You and the kindness You've shown
 
[Chorus]
G                        D
Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it
           A                     D
So help me Jesus, I know what, I am
G                          D
Now that I know that, I've needed You
        A/B       A                 D
So help me Jesus, my soul's in Your hand
 
[Verse 2]
D                                     G
  Try me Lord, if you think there's a way
               D                        A
I can try to repay, all I've taken from You
A7      D                        G
  Maybe Lord, I can show someone else
               A         D           A           D
What I've been through myself, on my way back to You
 
[Chorus]
G                        D
Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it
           A                     D
So help me Jesus, I know what, I am
G                          D
Now that I know that, I've needed You
        E/B       A                 D
So help me Jesus, my soul's in Your hand
 
[Outro]
A/B     A             G      Em/D  D
 Jesus, my soul's in: your hand...
