Happy Easter :)
Crying in the Chapel was written by Artie Glenn for his son in 1953 and it was covered by Elvis Presley in 1965 as an Easter special. It reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Easy Listening Charts. It was later included in his 1967 gospel album How Great Thou Art.
Crying in the Chapel
You saw me crying in the chapel
The 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 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
Yes, we gather in the chapel
Just to sing and praise the Lord
You'll search and you'll search but you'll never find
No way on earth to gain peace of mind
Take your troubles to the chapel
Get down on your knees and pray
Then your burdens will be lighter
And you'll surely find the way
