|
You saw me crying in the chapel
|
The tears I shed were tears of joy
|
I know the meaning of contentment
|
I am happy with the Lord
|
|
Just a plain and simple chapel
|
Where all good people go to pray
|
I prayed the Lord that I'll grow stronger
|
As I live from day to day
|
|
I searched and I searched but I couldn't find
|
No way on earth to find peace of mind
|
|
Now I'm happy in the chapel
|
Where people are of one accord
|
Yes, we gather in the chapel
|
Just to sing and praise the Lord
|
|
You'll search and you'll search but you'll never find
|
No way on earth to find peace of mind
|
|
Take your troubles to the chapel
|
Get down on your knees and pray
|
Then your burdens will be lighter
|
And you'll surely find a way
|
