Why Me
Reflections on Faith: Willie Nelson's Soulful Quest
Lyrics
Why me Lord, what have I ever done
Expressing a plea to understand why the speaker is facing challenges or hardships.
To deserve even one
Questioning if the speaker deserves any of the pleasures or good experiences they have had.
Of the pleasures I've known
Reflecting on the enjoyable moments in life and seeking an explanation for them.
Tell me Lord, what did I ever do
Asking the Lord about the actions or qualities that led to receiving His love.
That was worth loving you
Contemplating if anything the speaker did justified receiving the kindness from the Lord.
Or the kindness you've shown.
Acknowledging and appreciating the kindness shown by the Lord.
Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it so
Seeking help from Jesus, expressing regret for wasting opportunities or blessings.
Help me Jesus I know what I am
Admitting awareness of personal flaws or mistakes.
Now that I know that I've need you so
Realizing the need for Jesus in the speaker's life.
Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand.
Seeking assistance from Jesus, acknowledging the vulnerability of the speaker's soul.
Tell me Lord, if you think there's a way
Inquiring if there's a way for the speaker to make amends or repay the Lord.
I can try to repay
Expressing willingness to try to repay what has been taken from the Lord.
All I've taken from you
Acknowledging the things taken from the Lord and expressing a desire to make restitution.
Maybe Lord, I can show someone else
Suggesting the possibility of guiding others based on the speaker's own experiences.
What I've been through myself
Expressing a willingness to help others who are going through similar experiences.
On my way back to you.
Expressing a desire to return to a connection with the Lord.
Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it so
Reiterating the plea for help from Jesus, acknowledging past mistakes.
Help me Jesus I know what I am
Reaffirming awareness of personal shortcomings.
Now that I know that I've need you so
Reiterating the recognition of the need for Jesus in the speaker's life.
Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand.
Seeking guidance and entrusting the speaker's soul to Jesus.
