Why Me
Jason Crabb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To deserve even one
Of the pleasures I've known?
Tell me Lord, what did I ever do
That was worth loving You
For the kindness You've shown?
Help me Jesus, I know what I am
Now that I know that I've need You so
Help me Jesus, my soul's in Your hand
Try me Lord, if You think there's a way
I could ever 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, I've wasted it so
Help me Jesus, I know what I am
And now that I know that I've need You so
Help me Jesus, my soul's in Your hand
Help me Jesus, my soul's in Your hand
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 need You so
Help me Jesus, my soul's in Your hand
The song "Why Me" by Jason Crabb is a reflective and introspective piece that explores the singer's gratitude for the blessings he's received regardless of his perceived unworthiness.

The chorus expresses the singer's desire for guidance and redemption, as he recognizes that he's made mistakes and needs divine assistance to get back on track.
The second verse continues the theme of the first, with the singer posing a rhetorical question to God about what he's done to earn the love and kindness he's been shown. He then acknowledges his own shortcomings, confessing that he's wasted the blessings he's been given. The third verse takes a more positive turn, with the singer expressing a desire to give back and help others who may be going through similar struggles as him. The song ends on an earnest plea for help, with the singer entrusting his soul to Jesus.
Overall, "Why Me" is a heartfelt song of thanks and supplication that explores themes of humility, faith, and redemption.

This was by far Kris Kristofferson’s best song. His story behind the writing of the song is amazing too.
