Crying in the Chapel Lyrics

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,
were people are of one accord;
We gather in the chapel,
just to sing and praise the Lord.
Every sinner looks for something,
that will put his heart at ease;
There is only one true answer,
he must get down on his knees.
Meet your neighbor in the chapel,
join with him in tears of joy;
You'll know the meaning of contentment,
then you'll be happy with the Lord.
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.
