Crying In The Chapel
Finding Serenity: Exploring the Spiritual Journey in Elvis Presley's 'Crying In The Chapel'
Lyrics
You saw me crying in the chapel
You witnessed me crying while inside a chapel.
The tears I shed were tears of joy
The tears I cried were tears of happiness.
I know the meaning of contentment
I understand the feeling of satisfaction and peace.
I am happy with the Lord
I am content and pleased with my relationship with the Lord.
Just a plain and simple chapel
Just an ordinary and uncomplicated chapel.
Where all bumble people go to pray
Where ordinary people go to pray.
I prayed the Lord that I'll grow stronger
I prayed to the Lord for strength to grow and endure each day.
As I live from day to day
As I continue living day by day.
I searched (I searched) and I searched (I searched) but I couldn't find
I searched persistently but couldn’t discover
No way on earth to gain peace of mind
Any way on earth to achieve peace of mind.
Now I'm happy in the chapel
Now I find happiness in the chapel
Where people are of one accord (One accord)
Where people are united in agreement.
Yes, we gather in the chapel
Yes, we come together in the chapel
Just to sing and praise the Lord
To sing and offer praise to the Lord.
You'll search and you'll search but you'll never find
You will search diligently but won’t ever find
No way on earth to find peace of mind
Any way on earth to achieve peace of mind.
Take your troubles to the chapel
Bring your troubles to the chapel
Get down on your knees and pray
Kneel down and pray earnestly.
Then your burdens will be lighter
Then your burdens will feel lighter.
And you'll surely find the way (and you'll surely find the way)
And you will definitely find the way.
