Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
I've been so blessed in my life.
I want to thank God for the salvation that we've got through accepting Jesus Christ our
Lord and I want to say publicly to you, the folks here gathered tonight, to the fans and
to my friends in the music business, Jesus Christ is Lord in my life.
Jesus Christ is Lord.
Mr.
Earl Pooble on piano, Marty Stewart on bass, we'd like to do a song that kind of
asks the question, what did I do to deserve all the blessings you've given me, Lord?
Why me, Lord?
[G#m] [F#] Why [E] [B] me,
[G] [E] Lord?
What have [F#] I ever [A] done to deserve [F#] [E] even one of [B] the blessings I've [B] known?
Why [E] me, Lord?
What did I [G#m] ever [A] do that was worth love [E] from you [B] and the kindness [E] you've shown?
[F#]
[G#] [A] Lord, help me, Jesus.
[E] I've wasted it.
So help [B] me, Jesus.
I know what [E] [G#]
[A] I've done.
Now that I know that [E] I've needed you, so help me, [B] Jesus.
My soul's in your [E] hands.
Try me, Lord.
If you think there's [A] a way that I can [E] repay what I've taken [B] from you, maybe, [E] Lord, I could
show [A] someone else what I've been through [E] myself on my way back to you.
[A] Lord, help me, Jesus.
[E] I've wasted it.
So [C#m] help me, [B] Jesus.
I know [E] what I am.
[A] Now that I know that [E] I've needed you, so help [B] me, Jesus.
My soul's in [E] your hands.
[C#m]
[B] Jesus, my soul's in your [G#m] hands.
