Intro:
| G | G |
[G]I couldn't manage the problems I laid on my - s[C]elf
An[D]d it just made it worse when I laid them on somebody else.[G]
So I fin'lly surrendered it all, brought down in [C]de - spair.
D D7 ch)G(/ch)
I cried out for help and I felt a warm Comforter there.
And I [G7#5] [C] came to believe in a power much higher[G] than I.
I [D]came to believe that I neede[D7]d help to get by.[G]
[G7#5]In child [C]like faith, I gave in and gave Him a try,[G]
And I[D] came to believe in[D7] a power much higher than [G]I.

Nothin' worked o[C]ut when I handled it all on my own,
And each[D] time I failed, it made me feel twice as [G]a - lone.
Then I cried, "Lord, there must [C]be a sure and easier way,
For it jus[D]t can not help[D7] that a man should lose hope[G] and faith ev'ry day."
And I [G7#5] came [C] to believe in a power much highe[G]r than I.
I [D]came to believe that[D7] I needed help to[G] get by.
[G7#5]In [C] child like faith, I gave in and gave Him a try[G],
And I came [D]to believe in a po[D7]wer much high[G]er than I.
And I came [D]to believe in a p[D7]ower much highe[G]r than
