I couldn't manage the problems I laid on myself And it just made it worse when I laid them on somebody else So I finally surrendered it all brought down in despair I cried out for help and I felt a warm comforter there
And I came to believe in a power much higher than I I came to believe that I needed help to get by In childlike faith I gave in and gave him a try And I came to believe in a power much higher than I
Nothing worked out when I handled it all on my own And each time I failed it made me feel twice as alone Then I cried, "Lord there must be a sure and easier way 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
