Johnny Cash - I Came to Believe lyrics

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"

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
