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  
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  
  
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
