It seems we have another mondegreen here. Either that or the lyrics Tiger posted are a revision that someone else has done.

The lyric is "Lord, help me, Jesus, I've wasted it" not "Lord, heavenly Jesus, I praise Him ... ."

Here are Kris Kristofferson's original lyrics:


WHY ME, LORD?
(Kris Kristofferson)

Why me, Lord? What have I ever done
To deserve even one of the pleasures I've known?
Tell me, Lord, what did I ever do to deserve loving you,
And the kindness you've shown?

Lord, help me, Jesus, I've wasted it,
So help me, Jesus, I know what I am.
Now that I know that I've I needed you, so
Help me, Jesus, my soul's in your hands.

Try me, Lord, If you think there's a way
I can start to repay
For all I've taken from you.
Maybe, Lord, I can show someone else
What I've been through myself
On my way back to you.

Lord, help me, Jesus, I've wasted it,
So help me, Jesus, I know what I am.
Now that I know that I've I needed you, so
Help me, Jesus, my soul's in your hands.
