Mavis Staples - Crying In the Chapel (single only) Lyrics

You saw me crying in the chapel
The tears i shed were tears of joy (sweet tears of joy)
I know the meaning of contentment
Now i'm happy with the Lord, yes i am

Just a plain & simple chapel
Where humble people go to pray
I pray the Lord that i'll grow strong, stronger
As i live from day to day, yeah, yes i do

Oh, i've searched, & i've searched but i just couldn't find
No where on earth to gain peace of mind

OH-HOOOO!

Take your troubles to the chapel
Get down on your knees & pray
Yes, your burdons will be lightened
& you'll surely find a way

(find a way) yes you will
(surely) surely
(find a way) surely find a way
(surely) find, surely
(find a way) in the chapel
(surely)
(find a way) yes you will
(surely)
(find a way, find a way) in the chapel
(surely)
