I couldn't manage the problems I laid on myself
       D                                              G
And it just made it worse when I laid them on somebody else
 G                                              C
So I finally surrendered it all brought down in despair
 D                        D7                     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                      D7                   G
And I came to believe in a power much higher than I

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                           D7                         G
For it just cannot be that a man should lose hope every day"

Yes, I came to believe in a power much higher than I
