Why Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Trip Lee] Look I was born like the rest, from Adam's curse ruined Straight born into death, with my back turned to Him The facts are confusing, I'm a wretched man But He took me, held my hand and my death was banned He could have let my sins stay and my transgressions stand But I've been selected, elected, predestined man The question stands, look what I do to deserve To be blessed with His plan, made new and reserved Nothing, was like the rest, born attracted to death Nah we ain't said it but its just what all our actions expressed Cause though I ain't wanna bother with the Lord He spared me When I needed a Father, like orphan Annie He took me in, He clothed me in His righteousness Fed me the fruit of the Spirit, now my life is His Its all grace, I don't deserve this relationship Cause I ain't got nothing to give even my faith was a gift [Hook] I don't deserve it, I'm worthless, but treated as perfect Why me? (Why me?) Why me? (Why me?) I sin more than I wanna, but my sins are a goner Why me? (Why me?) Why me? (Why me?) I was lost, but redeemed, then adopted and cleaned Why me? (Why me?) Why me? (Why me?) I was a scrub, but this God let me run with His squad Why me? (Why me?) Why me? (Why me?) [Verse 2: The Ambassador] You can ask the question, why a God would let men Take His Son, make Him a naked one just to crush Him We could all inquire, why a God this high up Would stoop so low, to scoop a whole, crew from holding fire We can pontificate, sippin' on lemonade Chillin' cause our bill of sin was long but dawg it was paid Or we can shrug it off, not even bug at all Off the fact, we should have been attached, to that rugged cross That's just what it cost, I'm moved by what it cost Refuse, to be like dudes, unmoved, with thuggish walks They like to disregard this, they like to diss the God that's Coming back, never to fade to black, like Mr. Carter And it's a shame, cause the Scripture is plain With you and me, Yahweh got beef like 50 and Game We're shifty as Cain, only Jesus emptied His veins So now you only got one choice out of a list full of names [Verse 3: Trip Lee] It's truly His grace that did it all, His righteous mercy Prepared beforehand for glory, nah I ain't worthy He's treating Christ like me and He gave Him death He's treating me like Christ man, He gave me breath I could've easily been, one that's fiendin' for sin That's leading me in, to death, and catch heat in the end But He chose me, He showed me, ordered my steps man What a privilege to be, one of the Lord's elect [The Ambassador] If it wasn't for you Trip I wouldn't be trippin' on this Cause we'll get about as far as a car, sittin' on bricks Cause why He did it, was (uh) Ah forget it I don't know why, I ain't shy, I'll admit it So Trip, I don't even question this, I go on and rest in this For sin I was in Union but now I'm free like a Russian is Now I trust in this (Jesus) now the lesson is Run hard for God to a beat like a percussionist
