WHY ME?
When I hated you, you loved me.
When I did you wrong, you did good unto me.
When I gave up, you came along and picked me up.
Now all I can say is thank you.
Now all I can wonder is why me?
When I drank to much, you put me in a treatment center.
When I was promiscuous, you protected me from disease.
When I judged others, you showed me my need for forgiveness.
Now all I can say is thank you.
Now all I can wonder is why me?
In my sins I spit on you and mocked you,
In my rage I nailed you to a tree
In your pure love you didn’t spit back,
You just looked up and prayed for me.
Now all I can say is thank you.
Now all I can wonder is why me?
The answer is as simple as your beloved name
Jesus, the Lord, who saves me from my shame.
Abba, the one who makes it rain on me again.
Holy Spirit, the one who heals me and makes amends.
Why me? because i’m bad, and I need you.
Why me? because I failed, and couldn’t save myself.
Why me? because YOU WANTED TO, and that’s good enough for me.
