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
