about

This song gives me a comfort That My Higher Power is always there. I've gone through some major health Challenges in the last year, But I will never give up. This song was by Johnny Cash about overcoming his battle with addiction, and I am inspired by his story and so many others. I was honored to Perform at a Benefit for the Betty Ford Center in Palm Springs, with Paul Williams, Where I met the 1st Lady and so many who have recovered.

lyrics

Lyrics
I couldn't manage the problem 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 surer and easier way
For it just cannot be that a man should lose hope everyday"
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
Then I came to believe in a power much higher than I
Yes, I came to believe in a power much higher than I
