Baptism

Kenny Chesney / Randy Travis The summer breeze made ripples on the pond Rattled through the reeds and the willow trees beyond Daddy in his good hat, momma in her Sunday dress Watched with pride as I stood there in the water up to my chest And the preacher spoke about the cleansing blood And I sank my toes into that east Tennessee mud Then it was down with the old man, Up with the new Raised to walk in the way of light and truth I didn't see no angels Just a few saints on the shore I felt like a newborn baby Cradled up in the arms of the Lord Amazing Grace, oh how sweet the sound There was glory in the air, there was dinner on the ground My sins which were many, were washed away and gone Along with a buffalo nickle, I forgot to leave at home That seemed like such a small small price to pay For the blessed peace of mind, that came to me that day It was down with the old man, Up with the new Raised to walk in the way of light and truth I didn't see no angels Just a few saints on the shore But I felt like a newborn baby Cradled up in the arms of the Lord This road is long and dusty Sometimes a soul it must me cleansed And I long to feel that water Rushing over me again Down with the old man up with the new Raised to walk in the way of light and truth Didn't see no angels, just a few saints on the shore I felt like a newborn baby Cradled up in the arms of the Lord I felt like a newborn baby Cradled up in the arms of the Lord
