Carlisle, Bob - Crying In The Chapel Lyrics






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

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 (one accord)
We gather in the chapel
Just to sing and praise the Lord

Ev'ry 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

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 (knees and pray)
Your burdens will be lighter
And you'll surely find the way (and you'll surely find the way)

  4. M.... C....

    The first time I heard this version it totally amazed me at the sound! I hadn't been saved long, and I just couldn't believe what I was hearing! Then they came out with Heaven...Just WOW!!! Praise to the LORD ALMIGHTY!!!

  5. K.... S....

    Jimmy Willis showed this beautiful piece to a greatfull ear. The video is almost as good as the record

  6. D.... M....

    Lord, they could have made a fortune redoing Beach Boys songs. Wow!!!

  7. E.... D....

    Hallelujah! Glory to God!

  8. m.... ....

    Chris Riley Cheesy as hell.

    C.... R....

    Ya a lot better than elvis

  15. d.... H....

    Savannah CG ..... leave it to Cliff Glenn himself, he said this was his grandfather's fav!

  16. d.... H....

    Master vocalist Bob Carlisle fronted what in my mind was the most talented, versatile, & tightest rock band (not just Christian rock) ..... that was way ahead of the pack in its genre. I have a killer sound system in a "chapel" style log cabin on the side of a mountain in Tennessee...... & I just open the windows and doors, and let the valley below here THIS SONG !!! Bob....man, Bob brought a lead like no one else could..... such passion in a voice.....

    d.... H....

    I agree, but you should hear Cliff Glenn sing this! His grandfather wrote the song :)

  17. l.... ....

    Allies > Bob Carlisle solo.

  18. S.... L....

    love love love this song. it was my mommas favorite. Today, Sept 27, marks two years without her. When she passed away a part of me went with her. I miss her so very much. Listening to her favorite songs helps me feel peace inside my heart.

    S.... L....

    I know what you mean!! I have lost both of my parents within three years.Dad died in Dec. My wife and i moved down to take care of them,so we were here to say goodbye.Feel so lost sometimes without them.But God sustains us!!

  19. C.... G....

    Out of all of the covers of Chapel, this was my grandfathers favorite. You might say his opinion counted more than anyone else's. My grandfather was Artie Glenn, the author of Crying in the Chapel.

    C.... G....

    +Cliff Glen Amazing story!

    C.... G....

    cool... Cliff Glenn! my favorite singer and song writer! You guys should hear him sing this!

    C.... G....

    That's a very sweet thing to say Savannah. Hard to beat Allies version

    C.... G....

    Cliff Glen awesome

    C.... G....

    What a honnor. Great!

  20. T.... J....

    Elvis couldn't have done it better!

  22. T.... 5....

    What a voice!

  23. R.... ....

    Glad that it means so much to you!

  24. t.... ....

    My son remembers this song from his early teens. He asked me to please find that song about the chapel lol. I just sent him the text. We are two of the happiest people in the world. That song carried us through many tough days in Chicago.

  25. A.... B....

    Love this song. thanks for posting. God Bless !

  26. S.... M....

    Love the Floyd Kramer style piano solo that Bob does. Very nice!

    S.... M....

    @Shayne Mathena I always thought it WAS Floyd Kramer on the actual recording? 

  27. T.... D....

    Here's a shout out to all the students who meet me in the gazebo on Tuesday and Thursday mornings for prayer. Also, to Dwight, Connie, Bill and all the faithful who meet everyday for prayer at The Sanctuary. Do you know who originally recorded this song?

    T.... D....

    the song was written by Artie Glen for his son Darrel to record, which he did in 1953. the song reached the top 10. Elvis waited until 1960 to record this song but his record company waited til 1965 to actually release it.
    hope this helps.

  28. S.... P....

    Wow. I love Elvis' version, but this one.... WOW! I love the way Bob Carlisle sounds singing this. What a voice!

  29. 3.... ....

  37. I.... I....

    Sammy gay GAR get it???

  38. j.... ....

    I love Elvis, but this is a smokin version. That key change...wow. I really think Elvis would've loved it too. (But he probably wouldn't have had a crush on Randy Thomas.) Did I just type that out loud? Oops.

  39. q.... ....

    Always loved this version. If I didn't know better I'd think it was Sammy Hagar singing gospel...
