Why me, Lord… I was born in a house full of love Front porch prayers, hand-me-down gloves Mama’s arms, taught me grace Daddy said, “Son, stand your place” Work hard, keep your word Find your peace in what you’ve earned Simple life, but strong and true I didn’t know how rare that grew I saw the world outside that door Not every heart had what I had before Why me, Lord, this life I’ve known Steady hands and a happy home So much love I can’t explain Sunshine after every rain I’ve walked roads I didn’t deserve Still got more than I ever earned If grace is something you decide Why’d you place it in my life Time rolled on, I faced my tests Felt the weight on my own chest But every time I lost my way I heard those words my parents say Then I met her—Lord, that smile Worth every tear, every mile We built a life on faith and trust Turned two hearts into an “us” We chased dreams, we chased the sun Still I wondered why I was the lucky one Why me, Lord, this life I’ve known Steady hands and a happy home So much love I can’t explain Sunshine after every rain I’ve walked roads I didn’t deserve Still got more than I ever earned If grace is something you decide Why’d you place it in my life I ain’t been perfect… not even close I’ve made choices I regret But you never left me yet Every fall, you pulled me through Put me back where I belong with you Now there’s laughter in these halls Little footsteps down the walls Children grown, but still come by With their babies and their bright-eyed lives She’s still here, still my world Still that same, beautiful girl Every moment, every breath Feels like a gift I ain’t done with yet Why me, Lord, this life I’ve known Generations built on love alone Every tear turned into grace Every trial found its place I’ve seen more than I deserve Still you give, and still you serve If I could share this heart of mine I’d give it all, every time So for now, I bow my head For the life I’ve somehow led If I can’t give what you gave me I’ll pray they find it… someday
