Why Me
Ryan Lee 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
Or the kindness you've shown.
Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it so
Now that I know that I've need you so
Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand.
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.
Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it so
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.

James Hannan
This is a song to Jesus - the most beautiful person who ever lived, he still lives and he so wants to know you so you can live with him forever - it isn't a song about the country side its about the person of Jesus, when you listen do you feel something touch your soul? if you do that's the spirit of Jesus - if this song does, then this alone will have fulfilled the very reason it was written. May you all come to know him. Peace
