A Song for Saturday

Did you know that Kris Kristofferson isn't only an actor? He actually is a song writer, and singer, too! (Did you even know who Kris Kristofferson is? lol!) Michael and I love his music and his voice, and this song is especially beautiful. He wrote it, and it has been performed by Johnny Cash, Elvis,the Gaither Vocal Band, and probably others, but I think his original version is the best of all. It's very raw and real. The video isn't much, but listen anyway! Enjoy!




Why me Lord?
What have I ever done,
To deserve even one
of the pleasure I've known?

Tell me Lord,
What did I ever do
That was worth lovin' you,
For the kindness you've shown?

Chorus:
Lord help me Jesus,
I've wasted it,
So help me Jesus,
I know what I am.

But now that I know
That I needed You,
So help me Jesus,
My soul's in your hand.

Try me Lord,
If you think there's a way
I can try to repay,
All I've takin' 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.

But now that I know
That I needed You,
So help me Jesus,
My soul's in your hand.

Lord help me Jesus,
I've wasted it,
So help me Jesus,
I know what I am.

But now that I know
That I needed You,
So help me Jesus,
My soul's in your hand.

Jesus, my soul's in your hands

I remember him. It's been a long time since I listened to any of his music. Did not know he wrote that song, though I had heard the song before.
