  			G											C 
i couldn't manage the problems i laid on myself 
C														G 
 and it just made it worse when i laid them on somebody else 
														C 
 so i finally surrendered it all brought down in despair 
 D														G 
 i cried out for help and i felt a warm comforter there 
  
  
C														G 
 and i came to believe in a power much higher than i 
D														G 
 i came to believe that i needed help to get by 
 C														G 
 in childlike faith i gave in and gave him a try 
 D														G 
 and i came to believe in a power much higher than i 
  
 G											C 
 nothing worked out when i handled it all on my own 
 D														G 
 and each time i failed it made me feel twice as alone 
  G											C 
 then i cried, "lord there must be a sure and easier way 
  D														G 
 for it just cannot be that a man should lose hope every day." 
  
 {Chorus} 
  D													C	G 
 yes, i came to believe in a power much higher than i
