WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS

THE MISSION DOORS ARE OPEN,
HUNGRY PEOPLE WANDER IN
BUT BEFORE THEY HAVE THEIR SUPPER,
THE SERMON MUST BEGIN
WHILE THE CHAPLIN TELLS OF JESUS,
SOME OF THEM JUST FALL ASLEEP
BUT AN OLD MAN IN THE CORNER,
TO HIMSELF, BEGINS TO WEEP

WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS,
TO HAVE JESUS CARE FOR ME?
WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS,
THAT HE'D DIE UPON A TREE?
I'VE TRAVELED SUCH A LONESOME ROAD,
I NO LONGER HAVE TO ROAM
OH, I DON'T KNOW WHY I DESERVE THIS, LORD,
BUT I'M READY TO COME HOME

THE MAN GOT UP IN SILENCE,
AND HE SLIPPED OUT TO THE STREET
SO HAPPY HE FOUND JESUS,
THAT HE FORGOT TO EAT
HE WALKED INTO THE ALLEY,
FOUND A BOX AND MADE A BED
AND IN HIS SLEEP, GOD CALLED HIM HOME,
AND THESE FINAL WORDS HE SAID

WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS,
TO HAVE JESUS CARE FOR ME?
WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS,
THAT HE'D DIE UPON A TREE?
I'VE TRAVELED SUCH A LONESOME ROAD,
I NO LONGER HAVE TO ROAM
OH, I DON'T KNOW WHY I DESERVE THIS, LORD,
BUT I'M READY TO COME HOME

WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS,
TO HAVE JESUS CARE FOR ME?
WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS,
THAT HE'D DIE UPON A TREE?
I'VE TRAVELED SUCH A LONESOME ROAD,
I NO LONGER HAVE TO ROAM
OH, I DON'T KNOW WHY I DESERVE THIS, LORD,
BUT I'M READY TO COME HOME

NO, I DON'T KNOW WHY I DESERVE THIS,
BUT LORD, THANK YOU FOR MY HOME!
