    In 2024 and this still resonates with my soul. Love both of these guys and this duet with them is so very special and moving. They both went through hell and back, fought their demons, and came out still believing, and with amazing resilience and longevity. So thankful their music still lives on today!!

    Ray and Johnny had a lot in common. They both grew up dirt poor in the south, lost brothers at young ages due to tragedies, had drug issues, experienced marital and woman problems, these legends are peas in a pod

    Amazing song. This is the song of salvation. Whenever I listen to this song my heart gets full of gratitude towards Jesus. He has held me in His arm since I was born. I am safe in His hand. This song has been written by Kris .Jesus spoke to his heart to write and great singers presented in a fine manner.. Jonny Cash is a good Christian God has blessed him with beautiful singing career and he made Him happy to praise his holy name. both are legendary singers. Thank you for sharing. 🙏🙏🙏

    Manna from Heaven falling into our presence here in this video. We are blessed! Thank you beloved saint. The words need a proper blanket of music and tempo married. And someone like you to introduce it. The good word in the Bible says ALL CAN COME TO A BELIEVING PLACE THAT WE NEED A SAVIOR. Undeserving as we are as lost sinners, GOD has made provision for all who will come to Jesus Christ and believe in Him and who He is and what He did. JESUS CHRIST SAVES. By grace in faith God gives us to believe His words, we can be saved.

      Hi Allen,
      The story behind the poetry created by Kris is amazing. He was at church per invitation, and was inspired by the Holy Spirit to receive the Lord as his savior. Based on this experience, he wrote this song. God bless us all.

      I think it’s funny when religious people find out atheists like certain gospel songs. My sister was blown away when she found out I liked “In the sweet by and by.” It’s the music I like, but I’m certainly not subscribing to the concepts in the words.

    Why me Lord, what did I ever do
    That was worth love from you
    Or the kindness you've shown.
    Lord help me Jesus
    I've wasted it so
    Help me Jesus
    I know what I am
    Now that I know that I've 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 what I've taken 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

    Part 1...
    On this day in 1973 {July 7th} Kris Kristofferson's "Why Me Lord?" reached #1 {for 1 week} on Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart...
    Exactly three months earlier on April 7th it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #16 and spent well over a half-year on the Top 100 chart {38 weeks}...
    And even thought it never rose higher than #16 it was ranked at #6 on Billboard's Year-End Hot 100 Hits of 1973 chart on the strength of its 38 weeks in the Top 100...

    Musically- not religiously- this is an act by two Gods, interpreting the act of another another God. As Lacy J.Dalton once wrote in another context, this comes "...from the only one great source I know." Call it God, call it Goddess, call it Spirit, call it The Cosmos. ( I prefer the first Alternative), call it all four combining. Whatever. If this is not sacred, nothing is.
