Why Me Lord
Redemption Echoes: Finding Grace in Conway Twitty's 'Why Me Lord'
Lyrics
What have I ever done
Questioning past actions or behavior in relation to deserving pleasures experienced.
To deserve even one
Expressing surprise at receiving any of life's pleasures.
Of the pleasures I've known
Reflecting on the joys experienced in life.
What did I ever do
Questioning worthiness of receiving love.
That was worth loving you
Questioning what actions justified receiving the kindness of a loved one.
And the kindness you've shown.
Recognizing the kindness received from a loved one.
Lord, help me Jesus,
Seeking assistance or guidance from Jesus.
I've wasted it
Feeling regret for squandering opportunities or blessings.
So help me Jesus
Pleading for assistance from Jesus due to self-awareness.
I know what I am
Realization of self-identity or acknowledging personal flaws.
Now that I know
Acknowledging the awareness of needing divine help.
That I've needed you
Understanding the need for divine intervention or guidance.
So help me Jesus,
Reiterating the plea for help from Jesus.
My soul's in your hand.
Placing trust or surrendering one's soul to divine guidance.
Tell me Lord,
Petitioning the Lord for guidance or direction.
If you think there's a way
Seeking insight into ways to repay what has been taken from God.
I can try to repay
Expressing a desire to make amends for what has been received from God.
All I've taken from you
Reflecting on the abundance received from God.
Maybe Lord,
Suggesting the possibility of helping others based on personal experiences.
I can show someone else
Considering guiding others through similar experiences to return to God.
What I've been through myself
Reflecting on personal experiences as a means to return to God.
On my way back to you.
Striving to return to a divine connection.
Lord, help me Jesus,
Similar plea for help as earlier.
I've wasted it
Regret over wasting opportunities or blessings.
So help me Jesus
Requesting aid from Jesus due to self-awareness.
I know what I am.
Reiteration of self-awareness or acknowledgment of personal flaws.
Now that I know
Recognizing the need for divine assistance.
That I've needed you
Understanding the necessity of divine intervention or guidance.
So help me Jesus,
Reiterating the plea for help from Jesus.
My soul's in your hand.
Placing trust or surrendering one's soul to divine guidance.
Lord, help me Jesus,
Repeated plea for assistance from Jesus.
I've wasted it
Feeling regret over squandering blessings or opportunities.
So help me Jesus
Pleading for aid due to self-awareness.
I know what I am
Realization of self-identity or acknowledging personal flaws.
Now that I know
Acknowledging the need for divine help.
That I've need you
Understanding the necessity of divine intervention or guidance.
So help me Jesus,
Reiterating the plea for help from Jesus.
My soul's in your hand.
Placing trust or surrendering one's soul to divine guidance.
My soul's in your hand...
Continued acknowledgment of placing one's soul in God's hands.
