Title: Why Me Lord (What Shall I Do)
By: Delores Banks-Butler
Sometimes I wonder Lord
Why these things must be
Why all this pain and sorrow
Is happening to me
When I try
To do the very best that I can
And for you Lord
I’m determined to take a stand
Why me Lord (Why is it me)
Why me Lord (Help me to see)
Why me Lord (Take me through)
Why me Lord
Tell me what shall I
Oh What shall I do
Lord I know you suffered on Calvary’s Cross
To save the sin-sick
You died for the lost
I must die too, to the things of this world
Crucify the flesh
Let the Holy Spirit do the rest
Lord I know you’re make a way
Where there seems to be no way
You’re gonna open doors for me Jesus
With your help I know
I’m gonna make it on through
Cause I’m determined to keep the faith
Run this Christian race
Stand for JESUS
I’ll NEVER, NEVER, NEVER MOVE
