(words & music by Arthur Glenn)
You 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

Ev ry 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
