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
