Why me Lord, whatever done to deserve even of the pleasure I've known
Tell me Lord, what did I ever do that was first love in you
All the kindness is you shown
Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted you so help me
Jesus, I know what I am
Now that I know that I needed you so help me
Jesus, my swords in your hand
Try me Lord, if you think there's a way
I can try to repay for I've taken from you
Maybe Lord, I can show someone else
What I've been through myself from my way back to you
Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted you so help me
Jesus, I know what I am
Now that I know that I needed you so help me
Jesus, my swords in your hand
Tell me Lord, what did I ever do that was first love in you
All the kindness is you shown
Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted you so help me
Jesus, I know what I am
Now that I know that I needed you so help me
Jesus, my swords in your hand
Try me Lord, if you think there's a way
I can try to repay for I've taken from you
Maybe Lord, I can show someone else
What I've been through myself from my way back to you
Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted you so help me
Jesus, I know what I am
Now that I know that I needed you so help me
Jesus, my swords in your hand
