Crying In The Chapel Lyrics
Tammy Wynette
(Artie Glenn)
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
We gather in the chapel
Just to sing and praise the Lord.
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.
Your burdens will be lighter
And you'll surely find the way...
