Crying in the Chapel Songtext
von Ella Fitzgerald

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 all humble people go to pray
I prayed the Lord that I′ll grow stronger
As I live from day to day

I searched and I 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

Meet your neighbor in the chapel
Charm were them tears of joy
You know the meaning of contentment
You be happy with the Lord

You searched and you searched but I couldn't 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
(Praise him, praise the Lord)
