G                                              C
I couldn't manage the problems I laid on my - self
  D                                                          G
And it just made it worse when I laid them on somebody else.
                                                 C
So I fin'lly surrendered it all, brought down in de - spair.
   D                   D7                       ch]G
I cried out for help and I felt a warm Comforter there.

       G7#5  C                                            G
And I         came       to believe in a power much higher than I.
  D                              D7                                   G
I came to believe that I    needed help to get by.
G7#5              C                                          G
In          child like faith, I gave in and gave Him a try,
     D                  D7                        G
And I came to believe in a power much higher than I.

Nothin' worked out when I handled it all on my own, 
        D                                        G
And each time I failed, it made me feel twice as a - lone.
                                C
Then I cried, "Lord, there must be a sure and easier way, 
          D             D7                          G
For it just can not help that a man should lose hope and faith ev'ry day."
