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
