Cash, Johnny - 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

[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

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

    This song is my anthem . 18 years sober with no cravings or desire to drink again after finally surrendering to HIS mighty power. Thankyou Johnny Cash for putting that experience into such a beautiful and eloquently worded song. May many more find the willingness to surrender to HIS awesome saving power

    J.... D....

    I think of this as my testimony too.

  5. B.... C....

    This should be the nationwide anthem for a.a.of course Johnny lived that life. Those who came to believe really were pulled back from extinction. Get it played at a few a.a. Meetings...you will see how it can save people! 2018

  6. B.... C....

    This should be the theme for every aa meeting held in the u.s. it cries out a message to every 12 stepper!

  7. R.... B....

    when you know how bad Cash was before being Saved this song is even more amazing.
    This is not only a true country song, this is a true gospel song also.
    If Jesus can save the man in black, he can save anyone

  8. J.... ....

    Amen. thank you Jesus!

    My english is not so good so I'll be brief: There is a power higher than us, around us. I saw them and I heard them. Somehow I discovered that our lives are not in vain, somehow life will reward us if we make the right choices. I got rewarded by the truth, the truth that I was not able to believe along the years because I was selfish and arrogant to myself.

    Johnny Cash was a legend, he was more than a musician, he was a teacher. His legacy will never be forgotten.
    Greetings from Brazil.

    abraço!

    Sir Jesus Christ is the answer in this life to give us life after we die. He died and rose again for our sins many years ago and made a way we could be saved from sin and hell. For we are all born sinners.
    “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
    ‭‭John‬ ‭3:16‬ ‭KJV‬‬

    When we ask Jesus to be our Lord and Savior of our life, He writes our name in the Lambs book of Life. To die without Jesus means eternal death.

    “And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”
    ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭20:15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

    Sir, to be saved and rescued from this simply ask Jesus into your life and believe that He will forgive your sins and that He died for you and rose again from the dead.

    “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

    For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
    ‭‭Romans‬ ‭10:9-11, 13‬ ‭

    W.... P....

    Keep trying you English

  10. C.... T....

    I pray that one person comes to believe.

    C.... T....

    It worked!

  11. v.... ....

    This song tells us the simple things in life. There is a  greater power.  Even if you don't believe in a greater power, Stop for a minute & look around at mother nature. Every animal on this planet tells us we are doing it all wrong.

  12. M.... B....

    Wow. I am in recovery and have 18 months, going on 19 and have been struggling with steps 2 and 3. But this song spoke to me and made me cry.
