Why me Lord, what have I ever done

To deserve even one

Tell me Lord, what did I ever do
Asking for guidance from the Lord to understand what actions warrant love and kindness.
That was worth loving you
Questioning the worthiness of the speaker's actions that deserve the love received from the Lord.
Or the kindness you've shown.
Acknowledging the kindness shown by the Lord.
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
Expressing a willingness to try and repay what has been received from the Lord.
All I've taken from you
Acknowledging the speaker's awareness of taking blessings or favors from the Lord.
Maybe Lord, I can show someone else
Expressing a desire to guide and support others based on the speaker's personal experiences.
What I've been through myself
Sharing the intention to help others who may be going through similar challenges.
On my way back to you.
Expressing a commitment to return to a spiritual path and reconnect with the Lord.
Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it so

Help me Jesus I know what I am
Reaffirming self-awareness and seeking assistance from Jesus despite personal flaws.
Now that I know that I've need you so
