Mahalia Jackson — I Found the Answer

[Chorus] I found the answer, I learned to pray With faith to guide me, I've found my way The sun is shining for me each day I found the answer, and I learned to pray I found the answer, I learned to pray With faith to guide me, I've found my way The sun is shining for me each day I found the answer, and I learned to pray [Verse 1] I was weak and weary, I had gone astray Walking in the darkness, I could not find the way But then a light came shining to lead me from despair All my sins forgiven, and I was free from care [Chorus] I found the answer, oh, I learned to pray With faith to guide me, I found the way The sun is shining for me each day I found the answer, and I learned to pray [Verse 2] Keep your Bible with you Read it every day Always count your blessings Always stop and pray Learn to keep on believing and faith will see you through Seek to know contentment, and it will come to you [Chorus] I found the answer, and I learned to pray With faith to guide me, oh, I found the way The sun is shining, oh, for me each day, yes I found the answer, and I learned to pray
