I Found The Answer Lyrics
Verse 1
I was weak and weary, I had gone astray
Walking in the darkness, I could not find my way
Then a light came shining to lead me from despair
Made all my sins forgiven, and I was free from care
Chorus
I found the answer, I learned to pray
Oh with faith to guide me, I've found the way
The sun is shining for me each day
I found the answer, and I learned to pray
Verse 2
I was sad and lonely, all my hopes were gone
Days were long and dreary, I couldn't carry on
Then I found the courage to keep my head up high
Once again I'm happy, and here's the reason why
Chorus
Verse 3
Keep your Bible with you, read it every day
Always count your blessings and always stop to pray

Learn to keep believing and faith will see you thro'
Seek to know contentment, and it will come to you
Chorus
