This song saved my life, I was a horrible drunk and drug addict from the age of 15 till I turned 38, and laid on my death bed. I have been clean and sober for nearly 19 years and now work for a place that helps others get clean and take back control of their lives
GOD bless you. Reaching out and calling out TO JESUS is the salvation and deliverance for any soul that knows its need. sometimes, as the testimony of Kris makes clear, sometimes HE DRAWS US EVEN WHEN WE DON'T KNOW OR RECOGNIZE OUR NEED. !
+ Dan Snyder:: AMEN 🕊️😇🕊️ Sooo many miracles only our BLESSED JESUS can release us from these destructive behaviors 😇 Congrats on your becoming sober & clean! Praise and glory & honour always be to our Lord Jesus Christ! Onlyly JESUS is clean, pure ,our Great Physician, our HEALER😇🕊️🕊️🕊️😇.
Dan Snyder - He did the same thing { Miracle } for me . I'll pray for you to stay in the light and love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ . You and Jesus got this Dan !!
January 29, 2023 I’m 59 years old this month and am going to be baptized this afternoon in a beautiful, small town, loving family church. Safe travels all and God Bless us, our country, and our world. Thank you God for loving me even when I’m not likable. I love and miss my family here and those in Heaven today. Be safe and stay strong through this journey. Amen 🙏🏾
Saw Kris at Woodstock doing "Me and Bobby McGee". He was so fulla heroin he was tighter than a snare drum. Lot of us had that disease when we were younger. Those of us that quit can really understand this one. You and the habit become one. It not only owns you, and all that you have, it consumes you, if ya don't quit, the answer always seems to be to OD and nod hard one last time. Thank God I was able to get clean after ten years wasted. So, Kris nailed it. "Why Me Lord?" Thank you so much Lord. Without you, I wouldn't be here.
so much agree with you-- im 71yrs old ,not 2 good at expressing my self sometimes as what I want to say-but being Canadian ,with the great USA-being our friends &neighbors your comment hit it right on
@Opal Allen sadly you are part of the problem. Don't like the way things are in the U.S. then get out & vote. If everyone that "feels" the way you do got out & voted,you could make a difference. If you don't vote, don't complain.
This song is an anthem of redemption. Kristofferson is not a man who usually struggles to express his thoughts. It's amazing to watch him struggle with the story behind this song because it requires such a public display of deep humility. And that takes courage. Kristofferson has always been a very genuine individual with strong doses of honesty and integrity. That's why Johnny, Waylon and Willie made him the 4th member of the Highwaymen.
A song, a great song ever written by a Country Singer who met Jesus Christ, in a humble Church of a real Preacher who led Kris into Heaven's Fold. I cry tears every time I hear this song, because I know, that I AM A SINNER who always needs JESUS CHRIST, and my soul is in HIS HANDS...
*see above (Claudia Heinowski) I have listened to Kriss Krisstoferson telling this story so many times, I practily know it by heart. I'm Bipolar, and when ever I'm down I turn to it. Thanks Kriss ! listening 1 more time-----4-5-2024
@bengonzales. My oh my...you matched my sentiment on this fine song. Can't help but love this song with tears of happiness sorrow and regret for my past misdeeds. This is may 17 2024. I have a long way to go but don't think I have the time to get there. Gotta repent while I can. Blessings y'all.
i just saw this Melissa. I dont know who you are but I feel like God led me to this page so that I could reach out to you. I will pray for you and if you would like to get in touch with me, my name on facebook is Connie Fowler of Princeton NC and my email is fowlerconnie0@gmail.com. No judgement here. Just caring and concern for someone brave enough to reach out for help. God Bless You dear.

Hello Colly how are you doing, i hope you had a great day. I'm Patti from Long Beach California, just looking for new friend and i saw your pic here Ok!
What a powerful beautiful song. I sobbed listening to this song because it reminded me of my father who sang country music and played guitar. My dad's voice was equivalent to the great George Jones, Hank Williams Sr. My father could have been a great country music singer but sadly my father had a lot of tragic things happen in his life. I love and miss my father dearly every day, he was a great man. I love and miss you dad and we will be together again one day. Give mom a kiss for me and tell her I love and miss her too.
Singing a wonderful devotion to His glory. God bless Kris Kristofferson. Sublime! Please pray for lost sinners & political correctness that threatens our freedoms. Ask for divine intervention in our current state of the nation, for I believe, if we are humble enough, & will keep asking through prayer & repent of missing the mark, our sins, He is just & faithful to redeem us. Scripture tells us He makes all things work to our good for those who will have confidence in the Lord. Behold, He makes all things new. 🙏🏼🆕 Our counselor & High Priest Amen
I believe he made life just a bit easier to struggle and live through. Knowing that the son of God has been where the rest of his children have been, gives us a way to relate to him on a level we'd never been able to before. Thank God for that gift. Jesus, while holding a mirror up to humanity, shows us how flawed we really are, and that it's ok, and like a father, will always still love us despite our shortcomings. A saying around here, "the Acadians" (like me), goes like this, "Nobody's perfect in this world. In our entire history there's only ever been one man who was perfect, and we crucified him for it", *(roughly translated from French to English). My father, now 83, used to sing this song in the morning all the time. It warms the heart every time I hear it. I appreciate having him around still. Thank God
What an amazing song , I am waiting now outside of The hospital my husband is in . They are making a decision to put him on hospice . The is my precious husbands favorite song Praise the Lord for this beautiful song that touches our hearts and souls so deeply within . Thank you Lord for guiding me all this far and keeping me lifted up ..I give it all to you my precious Lord .❤
ONLY IF you trust Him Alone and nothing in your self ,That he died on the cross was beried and rose a AGAIN THE 3RD DAT And HE died for every sin you will EVER COMMIT AND TRUST HIM PERSONALY Then He IS YOUR SAVIOUR , But NOT untell THEN, The Book of John Chapter 3 verse 16 and then read John ch 3 vs 18 If you dont BELIEVE Jesus Christ
This song is so special to me. My Dad was a wonderful Dad but he was lost. We found out he had cancer on Sept 2,1980., he got saved on Oct 2,1980, and died on Nov 2,1980. We had this song sung at his funeral… it was so appropriate …Thank you for a beautiful, spirit-filled song!
Your Dad is now more alive than he has ever been, whole, vibrant, at peace and is praying for and cheering his loved ones on to perfection in Christ Jesus. You are blessed
22 October 2021 and their are 3.9k haters on this page who don't see or hear the world class poetry of Kris Kristofferson. Their loss and not ours. I'm with the 90K believers.
Yep. people want to do away with God in school & in the media. We're losing our morals & teaching children the wrong things. Losing respect for one another in all our movies & songs on the radio. Its going to get worse the Bible already predicted all this.
As a soldier in a place I never dreamed I would be. I felt I would never see my family again and I prayed for his help and felt the lord comfort me. From that time on and every time we went out I knew Jesus was with me. I did make it home through God’s grace and I can never thank him enough. Praise Jesus our Lord and Savior. Amen
Hello Vern how are you doing, i hope you had a great day. I'm Patti from Long Beach California, just looking for new friend and i saw your pic here Ok!
June 1970 pinned down in a rice patty by enemy fire i also talked to Jesus ,he delivered the 3 of us, i was wounded but alive and today i give him all the glory and honor!!
" As a soldier in a place I never dreamed I would be " Watching perimeter of compound in Africa w/ a M14 w/starlight scope attached, listening to Kris Kristofferson . What memories !
The singular, most important moment in life is when we ask for forgiveness & accept Jesus Christ into our hearts as the Living Son of God, our Savior 🥰🙏🕊️🎶🌿
@@denisclark5205 we dont need to rub peoples faces in their filth. We are all sinners saved by grace. All my sins were nailed to the cross. Thank you Jesus.
I’m 56 years old and have been singing this since I was a little girl. I never knew the story behind this and it to know it brings the power out of this song. What a testimony. That IS the way God works. I too stumbled into what I thought was just going to be a Christian band concert and God transformed me from the inside out. Had no idea what He was doing. Whoever posted it, thank you.
I cried and my little dog howled because she loves harmonica...I feel like we just had a moment of worship. Thank you Jesus for even one little moment like this.
This is SO moving, one of the purest, most innocent, raw testimonies you’ll ever see!! Gripped my heart. I was a heathen for 34 years. Gave my life to Jesus October 17, 1993 after leaving a professional wrestling career. This tears me up every time I watch it. Ps. Watch the expression on some of the others faces. 🥲
Only the lord Jesus can give you a good kick in the head to actually wake us up to see the real truth of our lives and the crazy worldwelive in.kris you are a real testimony to a loving forgive allmight God...see you in heaven thanks for having the guts to tell your story
I agree…..its one of the most honest and vulnerable testimonies I’ve ever witnessed. I looked up your website and it mentions Paul’s quote that we are “spirit, soul and body”. I had kind of a similar experience as Kris’ testimony explained, in that my head was saying “no way” yet I guess you could say that my spirit got affected and took action, while my soul and body had to play catch-up to what was happening in my spirit…..?
This song and story is so deep an f so amazing, but this is what grace really is. The song confirms that Kris has been grasped by the fullness of this unending grace. The strongest testimony of grace you'll ever find. Nothing more to say!!!
@Koloff, yes you are right, even I was watching their expressions, very clearly they were touched watching and hearing him but somehow controlling their emotions
I have been a funeral director and embalmer for over 58 years. Needless to say I have seen everything and heard everything from the good,bad, and ugly including greed over money, land you name it. It has happened. But thanks be to GOD Kris Kristofferson, his testimony on Ralph Emory show, was the most beautiful and powerful and truthful I have ever seen. To be in show business it could have ended his career. To see the faces of some of the entertainers sitting there with shock and awe was awesome. I wrote the words of Why Me Lord and put it in my Bible. I some time say that song as a nightly prayer 🙏. GOD bless Kris and may GOD use him and Why Me Lord In a powerful way.
@@angelcosmic145You are so right... It was the LORD Using Kris and his simple powerful song with his wonderful voice to take it up to the Top. 🙏🏼 Amen
My 16 year old cousins only child was killed in a car accident many yeras ago and they played this song at his funeral . I'm sure this great song has been played for thousands of people who lost their life .
I feel like the Lord said, "I need to get a message out to some people. A message that will bring people to the cross. Now let's see. Oh, you know it's Kris's time to get on his knee's, and know me, so I'm going to arrange a Come to Jesus meeting with him. Then I am going to drop a song in his heart that will go out and accomplish the same for many others." Mission Accomplished! What a testimony that was. Bless his heart for sharing the story that goes to the song. That makes the song even more powerful. Just on these comments alone there are people who came to Lord through this song. Just know, it wasn't an accident. He had your name on the list before the song ever got wrote.
Yes we have been truly blessed to receive such beautiful music of heart and soul Merle Haggard Kris Kristofferson Johnny Cash Marty Robbins they are a few more Ray Price I can go on and on and perhaps I will but just now I have enjoyed writing this down many more Ray Charles and so on and so on
Kris understands that Jesus dropped the charges against all of us on the cross a long time ago!! This is the first song that I heard after waking up from a coma after a ruptured brain aneurysm in 2012. It is one of the few memories I have during that time but it will always be unforgettable to me!! Thank you Jesus and Kris!!! ❤❤🙏🙏🙏💯
This is my husband's favorite song of all times.. we have both questioned God a lot when we lost our 20 yrs old son. Nothing could be worse, and we drifted away from God for a while. One day, I just fell to my knees and asked God why He had left me and not helped me. I heard God say, "I didn't leave you, you left me." That was an awakening. I still don't understand why my only child was taken, but I do know one day I will be with him again, and it will be then when I understand..
Sometimes I believe that when God take someone home that's so young that he has special plans for them. Or maybe he wants to prevent them from going through something in life that would have been so bad. I think he loves the young ones so so much because even in their early 20's they are still just babies in Christ. Maybe he makes them an Angel that a tiny child fighting cancer here on Earth that might need. I can't think of anything that could be worse than loosing a child. It has taken a very long time for me to come to grips with loosing my Husband. I could not imagine one of my 2 children. It took me 14 years to finally realize that after everything I've been through and it's been alot. But we all have a story. Again nothing like loosing a child. But for 14 years I've want to die. I literally wanted to die. 2 days after his funeral I sat with 2 bottles, ( 240 ) 80mg Oxycontin pills that had been delivered 2 day after he passed. He had cancer. His pain meds came directly from the laboratory. They had already been ordered from Dr and had been in route when he died. So I'm sitting there and all I could think of was how I didn't know how to live without him. My kids were 19 (daughter) and a 17 year old son. She had moved out 2 weeks before he was diagnosed. She offered to move back but I told her if be ok. My son still lived at home. So at his funeral after everyone paid their respects I walked up to the casket one last time before his eulogy. All of a sudden I felt 2 arms around my waist. O e on each side. I suddenly realized it was my kids. He raised them but was not biologically their Dad. Anyway when I realized it was my kids standing there to comfort me. I had never been more proud of them in my life. I cherish them and at that moment without saying a word I knew that they cherished me to. So as I'm about to open the pills and start swallowing as fast as I could. All of a sudden this great big picture flashed crystal clear in my head. It was my two kids standing beside a casket in such despair, crying so hard. Just those two, trying to comfort each other because they had no body left. All they had was me and I had been so selfish in my own pain that I wanted to be with my husband so bad that I didn't even think about them. In a flash I jumped up and ran to the bathroom and flushed all 280 pills down the toilet. God intervened that day. Then I realized he has a reason for all that he does. We don't always understand why but if we can trust in him that in time he will make it right as long as you have faith and trust in him. I think what I'm trying to say is maybe if you try to think of your son in such a way that God didn't take him from you he just needed him for a while. He's an angel in maybe the form of a little friend to a child that's gonna pass and your son is there because out of everyone on this entire planet your son was the only one good enough to do this job and when the time comes his job will be over and your tour on this is over to. You'll reunite again in heaven. That's how I kind of look at it with my husband. My kids are 33 and 35 now. I have 2 grandson's and a beautiful granddaughter. They all still need me here that's why he stopped me from taking those pills and as for my husband. God needed him for something and one day I'll know and we will all reunite in that glorious place he prepared for us called Heaven. 🤗 God Bless you and your husband. I don't know if I made any sense just know my heart is in it and I mean well.
We don't understand why the Lord choses some to die. We only know we miss them. I went to church to listen to a sermon. After the sermon the preacher spoke about things only God and myself would know. The preacher then said that the Lord wanted her to pray for me. I realized that God loved me. I had loved him pretty much all my life. I had not been perfect. I had made a lot of mistakes. Someday you will see your son again. I believe he is with Christ. Keep working for the Lord in this life. Because he gave his son for your sins.
My American husband introduced me to C/W music. My favorite is George Jones. I also liked Kris Kristofferson, specially this song. My husband was never a fan of him, but I was. Love many songs he had written and sang. He had a great talent. He sure had a wild life, but I adored him. I totally love this song. Makes me cry.
Willie and Kris could sing Why Me Lord 24 hours A day to me and I will never get tired of thos song. Just love it. Cry so many tears . Thank you Willie and Kris for such a powerful emotional and moving dong. Just love both of you so much. Lorene Downing
I was driving from San Antonio to Houston right after it was announced on the car radio that a new group was formed called The Highwaymen. When a I heard who it included, I decided that I had to go see them at the Cynthia Mitchell Pavilion in Woodville for my birthday. I got tickets that I miraculously been turned in and six of us went in September. The seats were in the front row and June Carter Cash was in the next row to the side of us. It was a fantastic evening and the first time I had ever knowingly heard kris kristopherson. Recently in a tribute to him, I found out that he had written The Highwayman song and many others that I loved; but I never realized he was the composer! What a wonderful talent he has AND a Rhodes Scholar to top it off!!
@@godhere6459 just remember...God is not mocked and it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Even if you don't believe what we're saying, you Believe what we're saying. Even if you reject the truth of what we're saying, there is rooted inside you a conviction which you can suppress through the years, but which is there nonetheless which is telling you that these things are so...
#god here , you’re not an atheist because you can’t possibly KNOW all things, you might be an agnostic at worst! But one day your knee will bend and your tongue will confess HIM, hopefully it will be while your heart is still beating, if not then it will be too late!
My family heard Kris, singing this at a tavern in Maryland 1973, bought the record, playing it ever since! Almost 50 years, nothing wasted much gained."Why me Lord!"
My salvation was at the alter also, I felt the convicting holy spirit call me to the alter, they kept saying there was 1 more and it was me. Praise the Lord for my Salvation!
@@kevinfiebelkorn4715 I believe you are right. As I said, this song has pulled me back to God. God bless you and keep you returning to his path of salvation
It took me a lifetime to understand just how powerful God’s grace covers a multitude of sins. If you’ve given your heart to him and you stumble and fall? His mercies never end. Addictions are hard to overcome and he will deliver you when you ask him to help you. Sin no more and live a life pleasing to god! The Holy Spirit lives inside of you and will be your helper. Thank you for redeeming me and all those who call out to him? He will always seek you even when you don’t. Man gives up god won’t.
What a testimony from such a beautifully humble person who wasn't at his best at the time he was saved. And he has kept his love for Jesus till this day. I have loved this man from afar for 50 yrs, for his heart, talented song writing,kindness and compassion. He is truly a blessing to all of us and a true inspiration. God bless Kris always 🙏 🕊💜🤍💜
Hearing Kris telling the story of how "Why Me Lord" came about reminds me so much of how I eventually accepted Christ as my saviour, and hearing this song brings back so many memories, many of which still leave me in tears! I was struggling through life without any care or regard for anyone except myself. I was drinking, gambling and fighting and eventually my long suffering wife had enough and left me. It hit me hard, so hard that I couldn't handle it and tried to commit suicide - And I nearly succeeded. I thank God that someone found me still barely alive. When I recovered I was "introduced" to God and I have never looked back since! Thank you Kris and God bless you for this video which brings back all of those memories and for the tears of joy which now fill my eyes!
Thank you for posting this !! i first hear this song as a 13 year old child... parents went through divorce.. i had a little record player... and a little 45 record.... today.. 60 years old... thoughts of Jesus... carrying me this far.. wayward as i was... He never turned His back on me... Thank you Jesus !!

This song makes me cry every time I hear it. I just feel like I don’t deserve his grace over me because of the wrong doings I’ve done in my past to others and myself. Jesus Christ forgive me please.
We didn’t deserve the gift but God sure gave us His Son Jesus anyway. Let’s put our faith in Him and follow Him the best we can to show we are grateful.
Yeah that’s how I feel. I am 64 years old, thinking I don’t deserve his forgiveness, but wanting to come forward to try and find a preacher that would help me through this. A beautiful song❤️
This is the most INCREDIABLE (true) story, I have ever heard in my entire 73 + years, R.&R., C.&W., or any genure. PERIOD. Incrediable. I sing along with it, and sometimetimes use it in as a prayer. Claudia Heinowski 4-8-2024

I am 66 years old, and this is by far still my all time favorite song. I can't imagine that ever changing. Thank you Chris...story of my life. God bless you and yours❣️🥳❤️ ❤️💜😘💒
The only song that ever drew a tear to my dads eye (he didn't know I saw him), and after 25 years in the Army as a gruff/tuff soldier and at age 58 he finally came to Jesus. Five months before he died. Thanks Kris.
They gave Kris a lifetime achievement award at the CMA's the other day. He couldn't be there he had a gig in Iowa... One class act. There is no award on earth that can surpass the award he will achieve in Heaven when he gets there.
I've heard time is catching up with Kris and I just wanted to say Thank You Kris for living life to its fullest and to know you've touched so many with your movies and music.
Coincidentally, I was walking across the street in town today and the opening line to this song came to mind. I couldn't help but answer to myself, "I didn't do anything to deserve any of the blessings I've received in my life but I will have gratitude and thanks for them."
It goes to show how powerful a testimony is. I've always loved the song ,was delivered from a horrible drug addiction and yes God will move your hand, he moved mine on the guitar I was playing. God is very close to us people. Thank you Kris for the testimony and thank you Jesus, amen
Had a similar experience...at 38 yrs. Old ...Amazing ..!!! Now at 73 yrs. Old ..It was the BEST THING IN MY LIFE to have done .!! Blessings to everyone ..And God Bless .
Perfectly said Sarah! Taking Jesus Christ into your heart is just that easy and that simple. No work required. Jesus did it all...just believe and take the greatest gift of all times...salvation through Christ! John 3:16-17. Blessings
Almost 2 years ago I joined a Celebrate Recovery group that meets in the church I've since became a member of. My cousin leads the worship in the recovery group. She called me up to sing with her and I had no idea what we were about to sing. It was this song. I learned the song on my guitar years ago so luckily I knew the words. We may have been the only 2 in the room that knew the song, but all felt it. Some even cried.
Not a country music fan, I happened upon this video somewhat randomly. I was drawn by the title "Why Me Lord?" I discovered that Kris and I had almost the same salvation experience - seemingly out of nowhere Jesus providentially entered my life and changed everything. For literally months, my heart breathed that same prayer "why me Lord?" Why did you choose ME for this absolute wonderful blessing? I wasn't even looking, but You came into my life and saved me from myself!
So humble, such a simple testimony which is why God heard the pureness of his heart. Man looks on the outside and God looks on the heart. All through the Bible, God chooses the least expected person to be a testimony for his Glory. In the Bible it says that the first in this life will be the last and the last in this life will be first. Jesus, the son of God will hear the simplest softest cry for help…that’s why in the Bible it says,”Be still and know that I am God.” This song is a testimony in itself.
The great songs that Kris has written over his career are so heartfelt , Loving Her Was Easier is a masterpiece and a masterclass .He is second to none as the greatest songwriter of the 20th century.
My mom is 97 years old and she’s ready to meet the Lord Jesus and she has requested this song to be played at her funeral… Hopefully, my ex-husband will be singing this song just for her and everybody out there! Jesus, thank you for saving me.
Hello 👋 wishing you the best on this wonderful day , may it be full of joy and more blessings to you and your family and it will be better than once a beautiful smile .
I have just read through all the other comments wow it just goes to show what songs can do for us all i was born in 1945 so Im getting on yes tears come to my eyes with many songs god bless you all
I got to meet Kris and carry his guitar back stage at the Johnny Cash Music Festival in Ventura California many years ago. This song really speaks to me as a Cristian man. I Love Jesus Christ and He inspired my song Until You Call Me Home that I wrote when I was at the Ventura County Rescue Mission. We all have a past and a story to tell. EGO is Edging God Out. I’m now a new creation in Christ Jesus. Keep reading your Bible my brothers and sisters in Christ. And, continue to Pray for those who don’t believe. 🙏🏽❤️🎼✝️
YHWH Elohim has provided for us plenty of evidence to believe in his word and in the Bible. I am not sure it's a matter of faith anymore, well, not as much perhaps. Anyone interested in what I am talking about, check out Ron Wyatt here on UA-cam.
@@r.t2169 Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are you saved through faith and that not of yourselves it is a gift of God not of works lest any man should boast. Our faith is in JESUS! JESUS is the way the TRUTH and the life no man cometh unto the FATHER but by HIM. Have faith and believe in JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD and Repent of sin. JESUS IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED!
That was powerful. Kris with his homeboys Willie, Waylon, and Johnny, taught us loving God doesn't mean you are perfect, it means you acknowledge you are a sinner and are grateful for His forgiveness and mercies. You do your best to honor and glory Him with the gifts he gives you and you just keep walking through life and do the best you can. God will do the rest. I was truly moved by this Kris, it's still in the midst of Covid and videos like this remind me life is still sacred and worth living. , thank you for a lifetime of music and loving your fellow man and our Lord.
Gosh never knew that my God that was soooooo beautiful to hear always loved that man didn't know his pain but hopefully it's over now crying in my chair what an outstanding human being
Praise the Lord Jesus for His Mercy & Grace. It needs a Man to do what Kris just did, May God bless you and your love ones till eternity. Amen & Amen NB: I have been there and can sense his relieve to being saved.

AMEN !!!!!!!!!!
It actually happens many times along the path, all we really need to do is open our ears and listen !
I really like Kris Kristofferson, but I absolutely love my savior Jesus Christ.
This song makes me cry! It is beautiful and I believe Kris feels the words in his soul.

I'm 72, and I'm crying like a little girl. Thank you Mr Kristofferson. What an artist.
Yes, absolutely 💯
Yes ! I wrote the above
I'm 51, and doing the same thing!
It isn't the song, it's the Love of Jesus that you feel!! Hallelujah!!
Thats fantastic
This song saved my life, I was a horrible drunk and drug addict from the age of 15 till I turned 38, and laid on my death bed. I have been clean and sober for nearly 19 years and now work for a place that helps others get clean and take back control of their lives
GOD bless you. Reaching out and calling out TO JESUS is the salvation and deliverance for any soul that knows its need. sometimes, as the testimony of Kris makes clear, sometimes HE DRAWS US EVEN WHEN WE DON'T KNOW OR RECOGNIZE OUR NEED. !
Congratulations on getting sober. God bless

So happy for you! Hang in there, no road is easy, but the one you’re on will sure lead you to where you are meant to be!

God bless you!!!!
Praise the Lord Lisa!
I was saved at 50. We gambled friend, and won. Many do not though. God is so SO good.
Praise the lord!
Saw Kris at Woodstock doing "Me and Bobby McGee". He was so fulla heroin he was tighter than a snare drum. Lot of us had that disease when we were younger. Those of us that quit can really understand this one. You and the habit become one. It not only owns you, and all that you have, it consumes you, if ya don't quit, the answer always seems to be to OD and nod hard one last time. Thank God I was able to get clean after ten years wasted. So, Kris nailed it. "Why Me Lord?" Thank you so much Lord. Without you, I wouldn't be here.
Well said. Glad you made it through. Heed his words young people. Fentanyl will get you got.
Kris was at the Isle of Wight Festival the next year (1970) but I don't think he was at Woodstock.
Powerful, God can snatch you right out of it !
Amen Jesus saves souls God bless you 🙏
Don’t assume Kris was on heroine. It’s a great, great song… one of many Kris wrote!
America needs to be singing this right now.
The world, Dear.
so much agree with you-- im 71yrs old ,not 2 good at expressing my self sometimes as what I want to say-but being Canadian ,with the great USA-being our friends &neighbors your comment hit it right on
I know can't get into politics here so hope u read between the lines hoping a certain u know who doesn;t mess things up between us !!!
SO TRUE AMEN!!!
@Opal Allen sadly you are part of the problem. Don't like the way things are in the U.S. then get out & vote. If everyone that "feels" the way you do got out & voted,you could make a difference. If you don't vote, don't complain.
This song is an anthem of redemption. Kristofferson is not a man who usually struggles to express his thoughts. It's amazing to watch him struggle with the story behind this song because it requires such a public display of deep humility. And that takes courage. Kristofferson has always been a very genuine individual with strong doses of honesty and integrity. That's why Johnny, Waylon and Willie made him the 4th member of the Highwaymen.
Praise the Lord for Kris Kristofferson's redemption.
A song, a great song ever written by a Country Singer who met Jesus Christ, in a humble Church of a real Preacher who led Kris into Heaven's Fold. I cry tears every time I hear this song, because I know, that I AM A SINNER who always needs JESUS CHRIST, and my soul is in HIS HANDS...
*see above (Claudia Heinowski) I have listened to Kriss Krisstoferson telling this story so many times, I practily know it by heart. I'm Bipolar, and when ever I'm down I turn to it. Thanks Kriss ! listening 1 more time-----4-5-2024
@bengonzales.
My oh my...you matched my sentiment on this fine song. Can't help but love this song with tears of happiness sorrow and regret for my past misdeeds. This is may 17 2024. I have a long way to go but don't think I have the time to get there. Gotta repent while I can. Blessings y'all.

I believe he knew you could do it, Colly.... Take care
Thank God
good my hubby loved this song, sadly he died of drink
I'm sober 40 years now. I'm still saying "Lord, help me, Jesus; I've wasted it".....but, I'm grateful for these past years He's given me.
What a powerful beautiful song. I sobbed listening to this song because it reminded me of my father who sang country music and played guitar. My dad's voice was equivalent to the great George Jones, Hank Williams Sr. My father could have been a great country music singer but sadly my father had a lot of tragic things happen in his life. I love and miss my father dearly every day, he was a great man. I love and miss you dad and we will be together again one day. Give mom a kiss for me and tell her I love and miss her too.
Hello Nancy, that’s nice to hear from you, yeah it’s such a beautiful song
Is this your favorite song ?
For Mom, love and miss ❤️ you
ONE OF THE BEST SONGS YOU CAN SING TO CONECT WITH THE LORD !!!!°°
The Lord suffered and died for OUR sins. He paid the debt for us. Praise Him!
bullshit
Lest He died in vain 🌿🌿🌿
Heaven forbid
Singing a wonderful devotion to His glory. God bless Kris Kristofferson. Sublime! Please pray for lost sinners & political correctness that threatens our freedoms. Ask for divine intervention in our current state of the nation, for I believe, if we are humble enough, & will keep asking through prayer & repent of missing the mark, our sins, He is just & faithful to redeem us. Scripture tells us He makes all things work to our good for those who will have confidence in the Lord. Behold, He makes all things new. 🙏🏼🆕 Our counselor & High Priest Amen
Do not be ashamed to keep asking
I believe he made life just a bit easier to struggle and live through. Knowing that the son of God has been where the rest of his children have been, gives us a way to relate to him on a level we'd never been able to before. Thank God for that gift. Jesus, while holding a mirror up to humanity, shows us how flawed we really are, and that it's ok, and like a father, will always still love us despite our shortcomings.
A saying around here, "the Acadians" (like me), goes like this, "Nobody's perfect in this world. In our entire history there's only ever been one man who was perfect, and we crucified him for it", *(roughly translated from French to English).
My father, now 83, used to sing this song in the morning all the time. It warms the heart every time I hear it. I appreciate having him around still.
Thank God
It does't matter how famous you are, Jesus is your Savior.
Love this man music also our birthday and age are exactlysame.
What an amazing song ,
I am waiting now outside of

The is my precious husbands favorite song Praise the Lord for this beautiful song that touches our hearts and souls so deeply within . Thank you Lord for guiding me all this far and keeping me lifted up ..I give it all to you my precious Lord .❤
ONLY IF you trust Him Alone and nothing in your self ,That he died on the cross was beried and rose a AGAIN THE 3RD DAT And HE died for every sin you will EVER COMMIT AND TRUST HIM PERSONALY Then He IS YOUR SAVIOUR , But NOT untell THEN, The Book of John Chapter 3 verse 16 and then read John ch 3 vs 18 If you dont BELIEVE Jesus Christ
I'M 75 AND FELT THE HAND OF GOD AND WALKED UP TO OUR WONDERFUL PREACHER AND GOT BAPTIZED THAT SUNDAY MORNING AND CRIED ALL THE WAY BACK TO MY SEAT
Praise Him He is worthy !
This song is so special to me. My Dad was a wonderful Dad but he was lost. We found out he had cancer on Sept 2,1980., he got saved on Oct 2,1980, and died on Nov 2,1980. We had this song sung at his funeral… it was so appropriate …Thank you for a beautiful, spirit-filled song!
Hello 😊 how are you doing?
You are loved….

Glory to God...
Amazing
How can anyone leave a thumbs down to this great story and a cherished song? Lord forgive those for they don't know your love as I do 🙏
assholes get everywhere beautiful song
Luke 23:34
They are afraid of the existence of God.
Even thumbs down help the song to get exposure. It is too bad tho. Very sad
@@biddibee3526 good. Because he is amazing
22 October 2021 and their are 3.9k haters on this page who don't see or hear the world class poetry of Kris Kristofferson. Their loss and not ours. I'm with the 90K believers.
Absolutely right. Sadly today we’re in a God hating world but I’ve news for them the king is coming back.
Haters gonna hate.
We need to hear this now, more than ever in our country.
Yep. people want to do away with God in school & in the media. We're losing our morals & teaching children the wrong things. Losing respect for one another in all our movies & songs on the radio. Its going to get worse the Bible already predicted all this.
Why he lord! Please guide and protect me and my family. Thank you Jesus. 🙏
AMEN!!!
AMEN
Very True 💯❤
Kris is living proof...intelligent, Rhode Scholar, English teacher at one time ...addiction can hold hostage anyone....and you can recover. Praise 💔🌹🙏
Just love him ❤😂
I just discovered this amazing man and have been binge watching. He IMO had three addictions and he beat them all. Such a beautiful man.
As a soldier in a place I never dreamed I would be. I felt I would never see my family again and I prayed for his help and felt the lord comfort me. From that time on and every time we went out I knew Jesus was with me. I did make it home through God’s grace and I can never thank him enough. Praise Jesus our Lord and Savior. Amen
Hello Vern how are you doing, i hope you had a great day. I'm Patti from Long Beach California, just looking for new friend and i saw your pic here Ok!

" As a soldier in a place I never dreamed I would be " Watching perimeter of compound in Africa w/ a M14 w/starlight scope attached, listening to Kris Kristofferson . What memories !
The singular, most important moment in life is when we ask for forgiveness & accept Jesus Christ into our hearts as the Living Son of God, our Savior 🥰🙏🕊️🎶🌿
Now hearing Kris telling the story behind this song makes the song so much more memorable and meaningful.
If you’re a Christian and that doesn’t bring tears to your eyes, as it does mine, thank you for that,renews my faith, God bless you all!
Just as it is happening to you the same will be true for every born again believer in Jesus Christ.
God’s tremendous blessings always!
I was also taken my his testimony , I never knew, now I’m happy for him and I rejoice when I hear him sing any song!
Kris Kristofferson is such a unique man,,No other like him
YES LOVE HIM AND WILLIE NELSON💜💜
but throws his life away from drink and other things but still a great song writer
@@denisclark5205 ww are all imperfect..he found his way
Agreed!!!
@@denisclark5205 we dont need to rub peoples faces in their filth. We are all sinners saved by grace. All my sins were nailed to the cross. Thank you Jesus.
So help me Jesus i hope everybody has a happy Easter i hope everybody listens to this because everybody needs Jesus in their lives on Easter Sunday
We need him every time we ha e a heartbeat he our everthing
I’m 56 years old and have been singing this since I was a little girl. I never knew the story behind this and it to know it brings the power out of this song. What a testimony. That IS the way God works. I too stumbled into what I thought was just going to be a Christian band concert and God transformed me from the inside out. Had no idea what He was doing. Whoever posted it, thank you.
I cried and my little dog howled because she loves harmonica...I feel like we just had a moment of worship. Thank you Jesus for even one little moment like this.
@Fred Honest Hello Fred!
This is SO moving, one of the purest, most innocent, raw testimonies you’ll ever see!! Gripped my heart. I was a heathen for 34 years. Gave my life to Jesus October 17, 1993 after leaving a professional wrestling career. This tears me up every time I watch it.
Ps. Watch the expression on some of the others faces. 🥲
Only the lord Jesus can give you a good kick in the head to actually wake us up to see the real truth of our lives and the crazy worldwelive in.kris you are a real testimony to a loving forgive allmight God...see you in heaven thanks for having the guts to tell your story
I agree…..its one of the most honest and vulnerable testimonies I’ve ever witnessed. I looked up your website and it mentions Paul’s quote that we are “spirit, soul and body”. I had kind of a similar experience as Kris’ testimony explained, in that my head was saying “no way” yet I guess you could say that my spirit got affected and took action, while my soul and body had to play catch-up to what was happening in my spirit…..?
Amen Jesus saves souls God bless you Brother 🙏
This song and story is so deep an f so amazing, but this is what grace really is. The song confirms that Kris has been grasped by the fullness of this unending grace. The strongest testimony of grace you'll ever find. Nothing more to say!!!
@Koloff, yes you are right, even I was watching their expressions, very clearly they were touched watching and hearing him but somehow controlling their emotions
I remember as a young woman, when Kris released this song…I was so glad he brought this simple message to the secular audience… Thanks Kris
I'm 56 just got baptized too. This song says alot about my life to. Thank you Jesus for all you Givin me.amen
I have been a funeral director and embalmer for over 58 years. Needless to say I have seen everything and heard everything from the good,bad, and ugly including greed over money, land you name it. It has happened. But thanks be to GOD Kris Kristofferson, his testimony on Ralph Emory show, was the most beautiful and powerful and truthful I have ever seen. To be in show business it could have ended his career. To see the faces of some of the entertainers sitting there with shock and awe was awesome. I wrote the words of Why Me Lord and put it in my Bible. I some time say that song as a nightly prayer 🙏. GOD bless Kris and may GOD use him and Why Me Lord In a powerful way.
I made the record do what you did when you did what you done last night in 1967 with my friend Charles Poston in Nashville
Kris wrote a lot of hit songs, but this is the only one that he took to the top of the chart, himself!
Or was it the Lord working through Kris, who made It
@@angelcosmic145You are so right... It was the LORD Using Kris and his simple powerful song with his wonderful voice to take it up to the Top. 🙏🏼 Amen
At his request, this was played at my dad's funeral. RIP Dad.
I’m getting ready to lay my dad to rest in a couple of days. He had written this song down to be played at his funeral as well.
My 16 year old cousins only child was killed in a car accident many yeras ago and they played this song at his funeral . I'm sure this great song has been played for thousands of people who lost their life .
My dad wanted this played at his service too. Very fitting.
I had this played at my fathers service also.
Beautiful song
Thank god Kris Kristofferson was saved,, he has put out some of the most beautiful songs Barr none,,,,
Hello Linda, how are things going with you?
Hello Linda, that’s nice to hear from you
Is this your favorite song ?

Me too. It is so powerful
I’m with you
🥺🥹❤️
I found myself getting up and walking down and i found forgiveness that I never knew I needed
Sooo happy for KK! Praising God with Him!
I feel like the Lord said, "I need to get a message out to some people. A message that will bring people to the cross. Now let's see. Oh, you know it's Kris's time to get on his knee's, and know me, so I'm going to arrange a Come to Jesus meeting with him. Then I am going to drop a song in his heart that will go out and accomplish the same for many others." Mission Accomplished! What a testimony that was. Bless his heart for sharing the story that goes to the song. That makes the song even more powerful. Just on these comments alone there are people who came to Lord through this song. Just know, it wasn't an accident. He had your name on the list before the song ever got wrote.
Hello Dee how are you doing today
THIS WAS A TESTIMONY FROM THE HEART OF CHRIS KRISTOFFERSON!! IT BROUGHT ME TO TEARS OF JOY!!
Yes we have been truly blessed to receive such beautiful music of heart and soul Merle Haggard Kris Kristofferson Johnny Cash Marty Robbins they are a few more Ray Price I can go on and on and perhaps I will but just now I have enjoyed writing this down many more Ray Charles and so on and so on
Kris understands that Jesus dropped the charges against all of us on the cross a long time ago!! This is the first song that I heard after waking up from a coma after a ruptured brain aneurysm in 2012. It is one of the few memories I have during that time but it will always be unforgettable to me!! Thank you Jesus and Kris!!! ❤❤🙏🙏🙏💯
Hello Marie , that’s nice to hear from you
Is this your favorite song ?
@@hectorleon5100 it is now.❤️✝️
Good , me too is one of my favorite. It’s my pleasure to meet you where are you from ?
This is my husband's favorite song of all times.. we have both questioned God a lot when we lost our 20 yrs old son. Nothing could be worse, and we drifted away from God for a while. One day, I just fell to my knees and asked God why He had left me and not helped me. I heard God say, "I didn't leave you, you left me." That was an awakening. I still don't understand why my only child was taken, but I do know one day I will be with him again, and it will be then when I understand..
Praying for you for the lost of your son, I've lost s son too. God is a big God he can handle our pain. Anita
Sometimes I believe that when God take someone home that's so young that he has special plans for them. Or maybe he wants to prevent them from going through something in life that would have been so bad. I think he loves the young ones so so much because even in their early 20's they are still just babies in Christ. Maybe he makes them an Angel that a tiny child fighting cancer here on Earth that might need. I can't think of anything that could be worse than loosing a child. It has taken a very long time for me to come to grips with loosing my Husband. I could not imagine one of my 2 children. It took me 14 years to finally realize that after everything I've been through and it's been alot. But we all have a story. Again nothing like loosing a child. But for 14 years I've want to die. I literally wanted to die. 2 days after his funeral I sat with 2 bottles, ( 240 ) 80mg Oxycontin pills that had been delivered 2 day after he passed. He had cancer. His pain meds came directly from the laboratory. They had already been ordered from Dr and had been in route when he died. So I'm sitting there and all I could think of was how I didn't know how to live without him. My kids were 19 (daughter) and a 17 year old son. She had moved out 2 weeks before he was diagnosed. She offered to move back but I told her if be ok. My son still lived at home. So at his funeral after everyone paid their respects I walked up to the casket one last time before his eulogy. All of a sudden I felt 2 arms around my waist. O e on each side. I suddenly realized it was my kids. He raised them but was not biologically their Dad. Anyway when I realized it was my kids standing there to comfort me. I had never been more proud of them in my life. I cherish them and at that moment without saying a word I knew that they cherished me to.
So as I'm about to open the pills and start swallowing as fast as I could. All of a sudden this great big picture flashed crystal clear in my head. It was my two kids standing beside a casket in such despair, crying so hard. Just those two, trying to comfort each other because they had no body left. All they had was me and I had been so selfish in my own pain that I wanted to be with my husband so bad that I didn't even think about them. In a flash I jumped up and ran to the bathroom and flushed all 280 pills down the toilet. God intervened that day. Then I realized he has a reason for all that he does. We don't always understand why but if we can trust in him that in time he will make it right as long as you have faith and trust in him. I think what I'm trying to say is maybe if you try to think of your son in such a way that God didn't take him from you he just needed him for a while. He's an angel in maybe the form of a little friend to a child that's gonna pass and your son is there because out of everyone on this entire planet your son was the only one good enough to do this job and when the time comes his job will be over and your tour on this is over to. You'll reunite again in heaven. That's how I kind of look at it with my husband. My kids are 33 and 35 now. I have 2 grandson's and a beautiful granddaughter. They all still need me here that's why he stopped me from taking those pills and as for my husband. God needed him for something and one day I'll know and we will all reunite in that glorious place he prepared for us called Heaven. 🤗 God Bless you and your husband. I don't know if I made any sense just know my heart is in it and I mean well.
We don't understand why the Lord choses some to die. We only know we miss them. I went to church to listen to a sermon. After the sermon the preacher spoke about things only God and myself would know. The preacher then said that the Lord wanted her to pray for me. I realized that God loved me. I had loved him pretty much all my life. I had not been perfect. I had made a lot of mistakes. Someday you will see your son again. I believe he is with Christ. Keep working for the Lord in this life. Because he gave his son for your sins.
Absolutely, I will
@@tinashelby7731 thank you for sharing this. sending you love. god bless you
My American husband introduced me to C/W music. My favorite is George Jones. I also liked Kris Kristofferson, specially this song. My husband was never a fan of him, but I was. Love many songs he had written and sang. He had a great talent. He sure had a wild life, but I adored him. I totally love this song. Makes me cry.
Wonderful to hear, knowing how earnestly I prayed for Kris to be saved back in 1973 / 1974!
Hello friend how are you doing today
I think that this is my favorite song by Kris and you can tell he had a hard time keeping it together He found the Lord 🙏❤️
Bill Sillinger .always loved Kris,this is just something else so special ❤ in tears listening 🎶 just beautiful brilliant 👏 ❤ love this so much ❤
ditto I agree 100 percent
I love Kris Kristofferson so much I named my only son after him , Kristopher !
The Lord wasn't lost Kris was, maybe the Lord found Kris, Kris was the lost one.
Willie and Kris could sing Why Me Lord 24 hours A day to me and I will never get tired of thos song. Just love it. Cry so many tears . Thank you Willie and Kris for such a powerful emotional and moving dong. Just love both of you so much. Lorene Downing
I agree
Just lost my mom July 28th and my dad 9 days later on Aug 6. This song reminds me of my dad. He loved old country music and hymns.

Oh yeah I was ballin my eyes out when this one came out.
I was driving from San Antonio to Houston right after it was announced on the car radio that a new group was formed called The Highwaymen. When a I heard who it included, I decided that I had to go see them at the Cynthia Mitchell Pavilion in Woodville for my birthday. I got tickets that I miraculously been turned in and six of us went in September. The seats were in the front row and June Carter Cash was in the next row to the side of us. It was a fantastic evening and the first time I had ever knowingly heard kris kristopherson. Recently in a tribute to him, I found out that he had written The Highwayman song and many others that I loved; but I never realized he was the composer! What a wonderful talent he has AND a Rhodes Scholar to top it off!!
When the Holy Ghost get`s a hold of you just submit to God. Jesus Loves You.
Amen

If this song don't make you cry .... you are not alive ....yet.....PRAISE OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, LORD OF LORDS, KING OF KINGS !!!!
Iam a strong atheist...no need to cry
@@godhere6459 just remember...God is not mocked and it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Even if you don't believe what we're saying, you Believe what we're saying. Even if you reject the truth of what we're saying, there is rooted inside you a conviction which you can suppress through the years, but which is there nonetheless which is telling you that these things are so...
Praise God, what a song and a testimonial
Great background story & great song!!!
#god here , you’re not an atheist because you can’t possibly KNOW all things, you might be an agnostic at worst! But one day your knee will bend and your tongue will confess HIM, hopefully it will be while your heart is still beating, if not then it will be too late!
The cry of the heart never changes, while Jesus never changes either, as He stands ready to answer that cry.
My family heard Kris, singing this at a tavern in Maryland 1973, bought the record, playing it ever since!
Almost 50 years, nothing wasted much gained."Why me Lord!"
I am so grateful Chris was saved, to write this beautiful song which saves me every time I listen to it!
This is brings back memories of Brandon ,MO / Arkansas Ozarks Mountains
My salvation was at the alter also, I felt the convicting holy spirit call me to the alter, they kept saying there was 1 more and it was me. Praise the Lord for my Salvation!
Amen
Me too.
@@kevinfiebelkorn4715 I believe you are right. As I said, this song has pulled me back to God. God bless you and keep you returning to his path of salvation
It took me a lifetime to understand just how powerful God’s grace covers a multitude of sins. If you’ve given your heart to him and you stumble and fall? His mercies never end. Addictions are hard to overcome and he will deliver you when you ask him to help you. Sin no more and live a life pleasing to god! The Holy Spirit lives inside of you and will be your helper. Thank you for redeeming me and all those who call out to him? He will always seek you even when you don’t. Man gives up god won’t.
What a testimony from such a beautifully humble person who wasn't at his best at the time he was saved. And he has kept his love for Jesus till this day.
I have loved this man from afar for 50 yrs, for his heart, talented song writing,kindness and compassion. He is truly a blessing to all of us and a true inspiration. God bless Kris always 🙏 🕊💜🤍💜
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Hearing Kris telling the story of how "Why Me Lord" came about reminds me so much of how I eventually accepted Christ as my saviour, and hearing this song brings back so many memories, many of which still leave me in tears! I was struggling through life without any care or regard for anyone except myself. I was drinking, gambling and fighting and eventually my long suffering wife had enough and left me. It hit me hard, so hard that I couldn't handle it and tried to commit suicide - And I nearly succeeded. I thank God that someone found me still barely alive. When I recovered I was "introduced" to God and I have never looked back since! Thank you Kris and God bless you for this video which brings back all of those memories and for the tears of joy which now fill my eyes!
I heard this song when a 25 year old atheist ... it added a little push/incentive for me to later call on Jesus. Still with Jesus at 66.
+John Prewett That's a good story. It's amazing what a God inspired song can do.
+John Prewett That's just awesome John. i'm right there with you at 65 years old
+John Prewett 26 year old atheist here... Thi song is one of many that makes me rethink my spirituality. Elvis - Peace in the valley is similiar.

This song makes me cry every time I hear it. I just feel like I don’t deserve his grace over me because of the wrong doings I’ve done in my past to others and myself. Jesus Christ forgive me please.
Sure you deserve all the best don't put yourself down God's love is there for all us sinners every single one of us
We didn’t deserve the gift but God sure gave us His Son Jesus anyway. Let’s put our faith in Him and follow Him the best we can to show we are grateful.
I forgive you for putting God before me
He forgave you. Believe that.
Yeah that’s how I feel. I am 64 years old, thinking I don’t deserve his forgiveness, but wanting to come forward to try and find a preacher that would help me through this. A beautiful song❤️
This is the most INCREDIABLE (true) story, I have ever heard in my entire 73 + years, R.&R., C.&W., or any genure. PERIOD. Incrediable. I sing along with it, and sometimetimes use it in as a prayer. Claudia Heinowski 4-8-2024

Absolutely you're right! How are you doing today?
Praise GOD 🙏 ❤ because the LORD says
" FOR YOU HAVE NOT CHOSEN ME , BUT I HAVE CHOSEN YOU "
This is one of the most profound, humble and honest testimonies I think I've probably ever heard. God bless you Kris K!!!Tell Jesus I said hello
I had a family
Kris ain't dead yet..1/23/2022. RIP Ralph Emery. RIP B. J. Thomas.
@@alanhumphrey4198 I was puzzled too. Good ol' Kris is still with us. Thankfully, he and Willie are still holding strong. -3/31/2022
I am 66 years old, and this is by far still my all time favorite song. I can't imagine that ever changing. Thank you Chris...story of my life. God bless you and yours❣️🥳❤️ ❤️💜😘💒
Hello there, how are things going with you?
The only song that ever drew a tear to my dads eye (he didn't know I saw him), and after 25 years in the Army as a gruff/tuff soldier and at age 58 he finally came to Jesus. Five months before he died. Thanks Kris.
Jackie James Praise The Lord!!!!
They gave Kris a lifetime achievement award at the CMA's the other day. He couldn't be there he had a gig in Iowa... One class act. There is no award on earth that can surpass the award he will achieve in Heaven when he gets there.
Also a Nam Vet.
Just A Nam Vet,

I've heard time is catching up with Kris and I just wanted to say Thank You Kris for living life to its fullest and to know you've touched so many with your movies and music.
Coincidentally, I was walking across the street in town today and the opening line to this song came to mind. I couldn't help but answer to myself, "I didn't do anything to deserve any of the blessings I've received in my life but I will have gratitude and thanks for them."
Amen. This man rec'd a great blessing.
All those who showed thumbs down may the Lord have mercy on ure souls 🙏
It goes to show how powerful a testimony is. I've always loved the song ,was delivered from a horrible drug addiction and yes God will move your hand, he moved mine on the guitar I was playing. God is very close to us people. Thank you Kris for the testimony and thank you Jesus, amen
Hear this song for the 1st time has me in tears... Jesus my souls in your hands😭...🙌
Had a similar experience...at 38 yrs. Old ...Amazing ..!!! Now at 73 yrs. Old ..It was the BEST THING IN MY LIFE to have done .!! Blessings to everyone ..And God Bless .
I needed this today. I was in a personal crisis, and remembered Kris's story. It's so soothing to hear such a simple, honest story and inspiring song.
Hope you made it out of your crisis. Love this song.
Forever a classic song!!
I think we all do, or at least I do!🙏🏻🇺🇸
Perfectly said Sarah! Taking Jesus Christ into your heart is just that easy and that simple. No work required. Jesus did it all...just believe and take the greatest gift of all times...salvation through Christ! John 3:16-17. Blessings
Hello Sarah 😊, how are you doing??
Almost 2 years ago I joined a Celebrate Recovery group that meets in the church I've since became a member of. My cousin leads the worship in the recovery group. She called me up to sing with her and I had no idea what we were about to sing. It was this song. I learned the song on my guitar years ago so luckily I knew the words. We may have been the only 2 in the room that knew the song, but all felt it. Some even cried.
Not a country music fan, I happened upon this video somewhat randomly. I was drawn by the title "Why Me Lord?" I discovered that Kris and I had almost the same salvation experience - seemingly out of nowhere Jesus providentially entered my life and changed everything. For literally months, my heart breathed that same prayer "why me Lord?" Why did you choose ME for this absolute wonderful blessing? I wasn't even looking, but You came into my life and saved me from myself!
The Lord works in mysterious ways ❤❤
Hello Penny, that’s nice to hear from you
Is this your favorite song ?
I'm in tears..a grown man in tears.. Miss my grandma
What a beautiful TESTIMONY 'GOD IN CONTROL I love, KRIISTOFFERSON'S 'WHY ME LORD' YOU HAVE TOUCHED MY HEART.
Hello Emily, how are things going with you?
love his singing sylvia
So humble, such a simple testimony which is why God heard the pureness of his heart. Man looks on the outside and God looks on the heart. All through the Bible, God chooses the least expected person to be a testimony for his Glory. In the Bible it says that the first in this life will be the last and the last in this life will be first. Jesus, the son of God will hear the simplest softest cry for help…that’s why in the Bible it says,”Be still and know that I am God.” This song is a testimony in itself.
Hello__ Suusun...ow are you doing today 🌹🌹 ✨✨ I hope you're having a good day 🌻🌻...?
You’re right it’s a great song,it’s nice to meet you here I’m Andy and you ?
The great songs that Kris has written over his career are so heartfelt , Loving Her Was Easier is a masterpiece and a masterclass .He is second to none as the greatest songwriter of the 20th century.
My mom is 97 years old and she’s ready to meet the Lord Jesus and she has requested this song to be played at her funeral… Hopefully, my ex-husband will be singing this song just for her and everybody out there! Jesus, thank you for saving me.
Hello 👋 wishing you the best on this wonderful day , may it be full of joy and more blessings to you and your family and it will be better than once a beautiful smile .
@brendamathieu1069. OH YOU ARE SO BLESSED TO HAVE YOUR PRECIOUS MOTHER MY FRIEND🤗SUCH AN AWESOME HYMN BY KRIS😇AMEN.🛐❤❤❤
Lord!! Please show others of your mighty grace & love!! This is a divinely inspired song!! Thank You Kris for your testimony!!
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Praise God. I sang this song growing up. This man is singing from his heart. Tears is filling my heart listening to this song after 30 years.
Everyday at work, I play this song ...it's affected my life and I hope it reaches someone that needs it.
Smiles sure yes it definitely will reaches the world just as we both feel it affections ,how are you doing today?
Love it
I have just read through all the other comments wow it just goes to show what songs can do for us all i was born in 1945 so Im getting on yes tears come to my eyes with many songs god bless you all
I got to meet Kris and carry his guitar back stage at the Johnny Cash Music Festival in Ventura California many years ago. This song really speaks to me as a Cristian man. I Love Jesus Christ and He inspired my song Until You Call Me Home that I wrote when I was at the Ventura County Rescue Mission. We all have a past and a story to tell. EGO is Edging God Out. I’m now a new creation in Christ Jesus. Keep reading your Bible my brothers and sisters in Christ. And, continue to Pray for those who don’t believe. 🙏🏽❤️🎼✝️
YHWH Elohim has provided for us plenty of evidence to believe in his word and in the Bible. I am not sure it's a matter of faith anymore, well, not as much perhaps. Anyone interested in what I am talking about, check out Ron Wyatt here on UA-cam.

@@r.t2169 Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are you saved through faith and that not of yourselves it is a gift of God not of works lest any man should boast. Our faith is in JESUS! JESUS is the way the TRUTH and the life no man cometh unto the FATHER but by HIM. Have faith and believe in JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD and Repent of sin. JESUS IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED!
@@deannalindsey7888 You should at least quote the interlinear if you want to quote in the English language :)
Kris is special and has always ment very special to me. His texts has helped me many times when i have felt low.
What a beautiful song! I loved Chris & never knew he sang this one. Praise God he was saved 🙏
That was powerful. Kris with his homeboys Willie, Waylon, and Johnny, taught us loving God doesn't mean you are perfect, it means you acknowledge you are a sinner and are grateful for His forgiveness and mercies. You do your best to honor and glory Him with the gifts he gives you and you just keep walking through life and do the best you can. God will do the rest. I was truly moved by this Kris, it's still in the midst of Covid and videos like this remind me life is still sacred and worth living. , thank you for a lifetime of music and loving your fellow man and our Lord.
👍👍👍
Amen!!! Thank, You, Jesus for loving us flawed humans!! You're AWESOME!!! 🙏🙏❤❤👍👍😊😊
Hello 👋 May you enjoy the blessings of good health, peace and prosperity, With God I know we are all safe in his hands, You're a real fan
He said “Jimmy Snows Church!” I bawl every time with overwhelming Reverence for Jesus! Thank you Kris

The song still brings tears to my eyes and fills my heart to the point of breaking. Thank you Kris and more importantly, thank you, Jesus.
Praise the Lord Jesus for His Mercy & Grace. It needs a Man to do what Kris just did, May God bless you and your love ones till eternity. Amen & Amen NB: I have been there and can sense his relieve to being saved.
I had kind of forgotten this humbling, beautiful song!! It's one my grandma and myself loved so much.
