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
