Classic Country Lyrics: "Why Me, Lord?" von Kris Kristofferson

Auch wenn Kris Kristofferson zu den wenigen
Country-Songschreibern zählt, die durchaus kri-
tisch mit dem Thema "Glauben" umgehen, so
stammt doch einer der schönsten Country-Gospel-
Songs von ihm.

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

Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it so
Help me Jesus I know what I am
Now that I know that I've needed 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 needed You so
Help me Jesus, my soul's in Your hand
