You saw me crying in the c hapel
The tears I shed were tears of j oy
I know the meaning of con tentment
Now I'm happy with the Lord .
Just a plain and simple c hapel
Where humble people go to p ray
I pray the Lord that I'll go s tronger
As I l ive from day to day.
I've se arched and I've s earched
But I could find no way on earth
To gain peace of m ind.
Now I'mm happy in the c hapel
Where people are of one accord
Yes, we gather in the chapel
Just to s ing and praise the Lord.
Take your trouble to the c hapel
Get down on your knees and p ray
And your burdens will be l ighter
And you'll surely find the Lord.
You'll se arch and you'll s earch
But yo u'll never find no way on earth
To gain peace of m ind.
Take your trouble to the c hapel
Get down on your knees and p ray
And your burdens will be l ighter
And you'll s urely find the way...
