Crying In the Chapel Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
I've searched (I've searched) and I've searched (I've searched)
But I couldn't find
No way on earth to gain
Peace of mind


[Verse 2]
Now I'm happy in the chapel
Where people are of one accord (One accord)
Yes, we gather in the chapel
Just to sing and praise the Lord

[Chorus]
You'll search (You'll search) and you'll search (You'll search)
But you'll never find
No way on earth to gain
Peace of mind

[Verse 3]
Take your troubles to the chapel
Get down on your knees and pray (Knees and pray)
Then your burdens will be lighter
And you'll surely find the way (And you'll surely find the way)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
