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
