Crying In The Chapel
Neville Aaron Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tears I shed were tears of joy,
I know the meaning of contentment,
I am happy with the Lord
Just a plain and simple chapel,
Where all good people go to pray,
I pray the Lord that I'll grow stronger,
I've searched, and I've searched,
But I couldn't find
Nowhere on earth to find peace of mind,
Now I'm happy in the chapel,
Where people are of one heart,
Yes we gather in the chapel,
Just to sing and praise the Lord
You'll search and you'll search
But you never find,
Nowhere on earth to find peace of mind,
Take your troubles to the chapel,
Get down on your knees and pray,
Then your burdens will be lightened,
And you'll surely find the way.
