Mahalia Jackson Crying In The Chapel
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)
