Lyrics
“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 LordJust 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 dayI’ve searched and I’ve searched
But I couldn’t find
No way on earth
To gain peace of mindNow I’m happy in the chapel
Where people are of one accord
One accord
Yes, we gather in the chapel
Just to sing and praise the LordYou’ll search and you’ll search
But you’ll never find
No way on earth
To gain peace of mindTake your troubles to the chapel
Get down on your knees and pray
Then your burdens will be lighter
And you’ll surely find the way
