Crying in the Chapel


You saw me crying in the chapel.
The tears I shed were tears of joy.
I know the meaning of contentment,
Now I am happy with the Lord.

Just a plain and simple chapel
Where humble people go to pray.
I pray the Lord that I'll grow stronger
As I live from day to day.

I've searched and I've searched
But I couldn't find
No way on earth to gain
Peace of mind.

Now I'm happy in the chapel
Where people are of one accord.
We gather in the chapel
Just to sing and praise the Lord.

Ev'ry sinner looks for something
That will put his heart at ease.
There is only one true answer;
He must get down on his knees.


You'll search and you'll search
But you'll never find
No way on earth to
Gain peace of mind.

Take your troubles to the chapel;
Get down on your knees and pray.
Your burdens will be lighter
And you'll surely find the way.
