Crying in the Chapel [German translation]

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 humble people go to pray

I pray the Lord that I'll grow stronger

As I live from day to day

[Chorus]

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

Every sinner looks for something

That will put his heart at ease

There is only one true answer

He must get down on his knees

Meet your neighbor in the chapel

Join with him in tears of joy

You'll know the meaning of contentment

Then you'll be happy with the Lord

[Chorus]

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
