  • This was so moving. It is so true. Why me lord!!!!!!!!

  • ANYTIME and ANYWHERE a new day can begin. I know it's hard. Make it just one more day.

    It's hard but cast your worries on Jesus and he will carry them for you. BIG worries/LITTLE worries. They are all important to God

  • Now this is a SONG !

    i have not herd for SOOOOOO long

  • I am a recovering alcoholic and i played this song over and over and it helped me get threw all the hard times. It is a great song to help anyone who is feeling bad about themselves to help them to start feeling good about there life and pick themselves up and start over.

  • A beautiful song for ANY denomination, ANY religion, thanking a Power Greater Than Our Ourwelves, whatever it may be.

  • A #1 hit for Kris Kristofferson on the Country & Western charts. It was the 266th #1 C&W song of the Rock Era. It also hit #1 on the Canadian C&W charts, #16 on the Top 40 charts, #28 on the Adult Contemporary charts, and #23 on the Canadian AC charts. I am a South Carolina resident and I remember that Kris would come and perform every year at the Carowinds Amusement Park Palladium near Charlotte on the NC/SC border.

  • @mkl62

    Thank you so much for posting this information.

  • @carann5 Thanks for the reply. Sadly, the Palladium doesn't get used that much anymore, with the Verizon Wireless Ampitheather in the area. I've been to 2 concerts there: Seals & Crofts (July 1978) and Tommy James (May 1980). In August 1977, KC and The Sunshine Band performed there and sold out all of their shows. Traffic was backed up for miles on Interstate 77 of fans wanting to see them.

  • This one of the best drinking songs ever. Such a sweet sing-along chorus. I just want to share a Pabst Blue Ribbon with Jesus every time I hear this.

  • I"m a 59 rear old recovering junkie. To stay clean I have to let my old self go and trust Jesus to guide me. I listen to this song often and wonder "Why Me". Why am I alive after living such a decadent life? Only by the Grace of God and the Mercy of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. God bless all of you.

  • @GDS4VR

    I can only imagine how hard it must be for you. We, humans, tend to create our own problems but God is always there to help us when we need Him. Just take one day at a time and be thankful for each new day. May God continue to be with you and bless you

  • @GDS4VR God bless you sir. Your testimony is what this song is all about. 

  • @GDS4VR Many Blessing to all of you, This song makes things so right..Keep the faith,,xoxo

  • @GDS4VR I'm right there with you brother. A native man played this in the psychiatric ward I was in and it drove through my heart like a jackhammer. I lost it so badly they had to pick me up off the floor and carry me to my bed. I ask myself this question everyday now and I always get the same answer from our savior and redeemer..."Because my Father and I love you".

  • One of my very favorite Kris songs.....but then, I am a huge fan. This one is especially good...love the girl's high part.....

  • thi is the best christian song ever it touch my heart

  • nice

  • I love this song including the video. It's very inspirational. I'm always teary hearing this song. May God bless you Kris and Carol.

  • i can remember asking ,yself this question years ago and many times since. diagnosed with epilepsy in 1962 work was never there. when my 2nd child was born i couldn't feed the wife and 1st. son. I am now 70 years old and can't feed myself. all four kids are dysfunctional and hate me for the life they had to live in poverty. i still ask the question. why me lord? i can only hope3 and pray that this was a training peiod for them in the future. i now have no body but god to rely on.

  • Amazing song! So simple how he approach God for help.

  • I love this song. I have played it on my guitar for 30 years. It still moves me as much today as the first time I heard it. A great song written and sung by a great artist. Thanks for posting. Good Vid

  • @marilyn77ish

    Thanks for your comment, Marilyn.

  • The first time I heard this song (and sung by Kris) I have to tell you it just hit me like a ton of bricks; the words were so moving and the realization that God would smile on this sinner bowled me over....and I admit to crying a little. Thank You Lord, and thank You for Kris-- we're the same age.

  • @mhhurtt

    Yes...these words really grab you con't they? Thanks for commenting.

  • Thank you for posting this, people still need to hear music like this now.

  • @bnetwise1

    I agree.  Too many people are thinking about "ME" and not enough about others. Thanks for your comment Dave!

  • thank you kris for this amazing song,,it has opened my heart more then you will ever know,,bless everyone,,just amazing omg

  • @tigger6707

    Thanks for commenting Tigger!

  • This song by Kris when I first heard it back in the late 60's has been on my heart eversince. I love the song and can never get enough of it. I guess this song took me to the cross. Thank you !!!

  • May we open our hearts and our minds and reach out for his hand.

    God bless us all.

  • when you believe in something and not in your fellow man you fail.

    we are alone here together why make hate and not love?

  • satans ministers and his "churches" are anti-christ(Word of God) and pro bible.Why would they who claim to Know Jesus by The Spirit need to keep looking to a book 4 answers IF they truly knew Jesus? they would Not.But because they are of the bible and NOT Jesus it has become their God! Woe! Run from those whom look on outside as White but inwardly are Black.Only The Spirit of Truth can Lead you to ALL TRUTH.All Truth is NOT the bible! Jesus Christ is,Hear Him to Receive Faith,His Gift to Hearers

  • Jesus is The Way,The Truth and The Life and ONLY He made Himself Plain to me.I read the bible for many years and it would always cause me to draw the conclusion that i was Not Good Enough.The Bible is satans favorite book as He uses it to devide and Kill.Jesus IS The Word of God that is able to Save us, not that book men use to appear to Know Jesus/w.Knowing the bible does NOT =Knowing by Spirit of Truth which is Jesus WAY.Run from religion and 2 Jesus.Religion is from Hell as are its ministers

  • Chris and Johnny Cash were the closest I'd get to gospel for some of the darkest years of my life and i still Love both of them and their music that reached across the devide of Religion to my dying soul. After many years of running from God and becomming hard as nails songs from both these men touched me where no one else could, my heart, its where we feel what cant be explained or interpeted w/mere words,its where God walks and talks w/us, even when we do NOT want Him there.

    R.I.P Johnny Cash

  • @randywatchingbush

    I don't know what you have been through, but I can relate. As a Vietnam Vet I tried to walk that lonely valley by myself also. It was HE who brought me back from the brink of dispair!

  • @JASVN67 Ive been to hell and back in a life lived running from the Only 1 who loved me, Jesus Christ.I was a junkie for years and my life revolved around dope.I've been stabbed and left for dead,robbed at gun point and was stupid enough to chase the theives who were armed without a weapon.Ive went back and forth many times to Jesus always concluding I was NOT"Good Enough"4 Him.The Reasons were both the religious and presumptions i made about what "the bible says".Jesus=Word of God not the bible

  • I was 8, (1982) and riding in the car with my grandpa. this song came on the radio. he said play that at my funeral. in 2001 I honoered his wishes. This was the only secular song, everything else was "church" music. he was a deeply religious man. I still get a lump in my throat hearing this nearly 10 yrs after his death.  one of my favortite songs.

  • Many thanks for this wonderful song.God bless you Kris.When i heard this song in 1976 i was crying.

  • Never listened to anything by Kris Kristofferson but after hearing this...I'll look for more! I like the especially the verses and his voice.

  • THANK GOD SALVATION IS A FREE GIFT

  • This sing - Why Me - By Kris Kristofferson hit # 16 on 11-10-1973,..On the Billboard Hot 100 Pop Singles Chart,..It was also the slowest moving song to climb the charts entering in mid March 1973 taking over 32 weeks to get to it`s high point and speding 39 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 Pop Charts as well

  • this song was my life till came out off the dark ages and found science my

    true savior.

  • @bubbah671

    As wonderful as science and technology are, they are finite–limited–and can’t save us. If our struggles were only material/physical, maybe science would be all we would need. But our problems run deep into our souls. And only God can go there. "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind." (Albert Einstein)

  • @carann5 only you can see your soul.dont hand off your wins and your failures to god.

    look inside see the truth we are alone .alone alone. alone.nobodys home at your church.

  • A great sing by a man who had to wait most of his life before he found the Hand the Lord had held out to him..And told Kris what He wanted Kris to to do for Him..Thank you Kris for listening.. Love philillie

  • " The Tracker "

  • Too many things to say so I will just say Thank you! Really enjoyed this video with this song.

  • @jba3rd

    I thank you so much for your comment! Much appreciation!

  • Thank you for sharing. This was my father's favorite song. He listened to it many times before he passed away..... he strayed away from the Lord for many many years... but found his way back in the end. it makes me sad to listen to it.. He's been gone since 1999.... When I listen to this song, I think of him.... and pray that he is in Heaven.

  • Chris Kristofferson is great, but the paintings in this video are awful. Please include some better landscape paintings. If you like paintings look up Thomas Cole, Martin Johnson Heade or any American or English painter from the mid 19th century.

  • I love those high voices in the background. Sounds like Elvis's high voice singer Cathy Westmorland. Just beautyfull to hear.

  • I dont know how you did this video, but it is great. This song bring tears to my eyes and I feel the Holly spirit is near and I love to here it everytime. Im glad to see Kris changed to the Lord and made this great song for us all to listen to.

    But if you havent thought about it. Even though we love the here it. It is being song to the Lord, Amen!!!

  • I love this song !

  • Kris hit #16 in Billboard, 11-10-73. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

  • This song is very very nice and meaningful. Thank you for sharing your music.

  • @brendalyne1

    You are very welcome, Brenda!

  • Lord, have mercy...for longer, healthy life...for my kids

  • Comment removed

  • i love this song so much! thanks for sharing....

  • It may not be in your own personal views,.... but I deeply appreciate your sharing it, because I as a child for many years, chose God, went to church with neighbors and friends, starved for the Christian knowledge of how to live life right....many ways...Satan played even in the little girl....and this song....is just my way back to what I knew I wanted as a child....the Bible even says... come as a little child... and I am that little child again...asking him for forgiveness!!!!

  • @nanajoy09 Jesus instills in us from an early age sometimes and we come back. I was a drug abuser until Jesus found me and blew my mind with His love. Never experienced anything as good as Jesus. I was touched by what you wrote.

  • @mrhawkeye1964 This is not Hawkeye..that is my husband , I thought I was on my YT channel. debthebeader. But you should listen to some of my husbands poems. They're really good. Sorry for the mix up. Blessings.

  • @janter101087

    To each his own, Hootie. Some people may like someone else's version of this song better. Or maybe they like the song but not my video. Who knows? But that's all right.
