Trip Lee - Why Me lyrics

rate me

Verse 1:<br />

Look I was born like the rest, from Adam's curse ruined<br />

Straight born into death, with my back turned to Him<br />

The facts are confusing, I'm a wretched man<br />

But He took me, held my hand, and my death was banned<br />

He could have let my sins stay and my transgressions stand<br />

But I've been selected, elected, predestined man<br />

The question stands, look what I do to deserve<br />

To be blessed with His plan, made new, and reserved<br />

Nothing. I was like the rest, born attracted to death<br />

Nah we ain't said it, but it's just what all our actions expressed<br />

'Cause although I ain't wanna bother with the Lord He spared me<br />

When I needed a Father, like orphan Annie<br />

He took me in, clothed me in His righteousness<br />

Fed me the fruit of the Spirit, now my life is His<br />

It's all grace, I don't deserve this relationship<br />

'Cause I ain't got nothing to give even my faith was a gift<br />

<br />

Hook:<br />

I don't deserve it, I'm worthless, but treated as perfect<br />

Why me? Why me? Why me? Why me?<br />

I sin more than I wanna, but my sins are a goner<br />

Why me? Why me? Why me? Why me?<br />

I was lost, but redeemed, then adopted and cleaned<br />

Why me? Why me? Why me? Why me?<br />

I was a scrub, but this God let me run with His squad<br />

Why me? Why me? Why me? Why me?<br />

<br />

Ambassador:<br />

You can ask the question, why our God would let men<br />

Take His Son, make Him a naked one just to crush Him<br />

We could all inquire, why a God this high up<br />

Would stoop so low to scoop a whole crew from holding fire<br />

We can pontificate, sipping on lemonade<br />

Chilling 'cause our bill of sin was long, but dawg it was payed<br />

Or we can shrug it off, not even bug at all<br />

Off the fact we should have been attached to that rugged cross<br />

That's just what it cost, I'm moved by what it cost<br />

Refuse to be like dudes unmoved with thuggish walks<br />

They like to disregard this, they like to diss the God that's<br />

Coming back never to fade to black like Mr. Carter<br />

And it's a shame 'cause the scripture is plain<br />

With you and me Yahweh got beef like 50 and Game<br />

We're shifty as Cane, only Jesus emptied His veins<br />

So now you only got one choice out of a list full of names<br />

<br />

Hook<br />

<br />

Trip:<br />

It's truly His grace that did it all, His righteous mercy<br />

Prepared beforehand for glory? Nah I ain't worthy<br />

He treated Christ like me and He gave Him death<br />

He's treating me like Christ man, He gave me breath<br />

I could have easily been one that feening for sin<br />

That's leading me in to death and catch heat in the end<br />

But He chose me, He showed me, He ordered my steps<br />

Man what a privilege to be one of the Lord's elect<br />

:Ambassador:<br />

If it wasn't for you Trip, I wouldn't be tripping on this<br />

'Cause we'll get about as far as a car sitting on bricks<br />

'Cause why He did it was... Ah forget it<br />

I don't know why, I ain't shy I'll admit it<br />

So Trip, I don't even question it<br />

So I'll go on and rest in this for sin I was in union<br />

But now I'm free like a Russian is<br />

Now I trust in this [Jesus], now the lesson is<br />

Run hard for God to a beat like a percussion is<br />

<br />
