"I couldn't manage the problems I brought 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
[Chorus]
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
Nothin' worked out when I handled it all on my own
And each time I failed it made me feel twice as alone
Then I thought, "Lord there must be a surer and easier way
For it just cannot be that a man should lose hope every day.
[Chorus]
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."
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
[Chorus]
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
Nothin' worked out when I handled it all on my own
And each time I failed it made me feel twice as alone
Then I thought, "Lord there must be a surer and easier way
For it just cannot be that a man should lose hope every day.
[Chorus]
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."
