Out 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 !

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 !
