Story Behind the Song
Several years ago, I wandered so far away from God. One day it was brought to my attention how much God was still working in my life. He had greatly blessed me with a wonderful family, a great Law Enforcement career, and a good comfortable home to live in. This brought me to the question of "Why has God been so good to me?", a person who has rebelled against the God who has only showed him love, Grace and Care. I know God can do what it takes to bring a wandering Christian to his knees, and that could have been the next step God may have taken. However, I am thankful that God's tender, loving mercy and care got my attention. The song "Why Me Lord" seems to best fit my great awakening.
Lyrics
Why Me Lord
Verse 1: 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?
Chorus: Lord help me Jesus, I’ve wasted it so,
Help me, Jesus, I Know what I am;
And now that I know, that I’ve needed you so,
Help me Jesus, My soul’s in You’re hands.
Verse 2: Tell 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.
