This morning listening to my Christian playlist on my iPod, “Why Me Lord?” by Johnny Cash came on. This song was written by Kris Kristofferson, but he let Johnny record it. I love this song because it reminds me of how I feel quite often. I don’t fully understand why God loves me so, but if I can share His love and how I found my way back to Him with just one person, I will be content.
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 love from you
Or the kindness you’ve shown.
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.
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.
Do you know how much God loves you? Do you understand the depth of love and grace that are found only at the cross of Christ? It’s amazing!
