C F

You saw me crying in the chapel,

C

the tears I shed were tears of joy;

D7

I know the meaning of contentment,

G7 C F C

now I am happy with the Lord.

F

Just a plain and simple chapel,

C

where humble people go to pray;

D7

I pray the Lord that I'll grow stronger,

G7 C F C

as I live from day to day.

F C

I've searched and I've searched but I couldn't find

D7 G7

no way on earth to gain peace of mind.

F

Now I'm happy in the chapel,

C

were people are of one accord;

D7

We gather in the chapel,

G7 C F C

just to sing and praise the Lord.

Every 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.
