You saw me crying in the chapel the tears I shed were tears of joy

I know the meaning of contentment now I'm 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

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 gain peace of mind

Take your troubles in the chapel get down on your knees and pray

Then your burdens will be lighter and you'll surely find the way

(And you'll surely find the way)
