WHY ME LORD

High Above the Valley, a Song Became a Prayer

Wolfgang Hildebrandt has recorded a deeply personal new version of “Why Me Lord,” one of the most beloved country songs ever written in the United States.

Written by the legendary Kris Kristofferson, this timeless song has carried its message of humility, gratitude, faith, and redemption into the hearts of millions.

For the music video, Wolfgang chose a truly special place: the beautiful Loreto Chapel in Kapfenberg, Austria, standing high above the valley, surrounded by silence, mountains, and sky.

In this peaceful and sacred setting, every word seemed to carry a deeper meaning. Every note became a prayer. Every moment became part of a story told from the heart.

Wolfgang Hildebrandt poured his entire soul into this performance. He did not simply sing the song—he lived every word, every emotion, and every prayer within it.

This music video is more than a tribute to Kris Kristofferson. It is a moment of reflection, a message of faith, and a heartfelt reminder that music can reach places where words alone cannot.

We hope that this special version of “Why Me Lord” touches your heart, brings you a moment of peace, and stays with you long after the final note has faded.

From the mountains of Austria, with faith, gratitude, and love.

We truly hope you enjoy it.
