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." Chorus yes, i came to believe in a power much higher than i
