Baptism Lyrics - Kenny Chesney

1 The Summer breeze, made ripples on the pond

2 And rattled through the reeds, and the willow trees beyond

3 Daddy in his good hat, and momma in her Sunday dress

4 Watched with pride as I stood there, in the water up to my chest

5 And the preacher spoke about the cleansing blood

6 I sank my toes into that, east Tennessee mud

7 And it was down with the old man, up with the new

8 Raised to walk in the way of light and truth

9 I didn't see no angels, just a few saints on the shore

10 But I felt like a newborn baby, cradled up in the arms of the Lord

11 (Randy Travis)

12 Amazing Grace, oh how sweet the sound

13 There was glory in the air, there was dinner on the ground

14 And my sins which were many, were washed away and gone

15 Along with a buffalo nickel, I forgot to leave at home

16 But that seemed like such a small small price to pay

17 For the blessed peace of mind, that came to me that day

18 And it was down with the old man, up with the new

19 Raised to walk in the way of light and truth

20 I didn't see no angels, just a few saints on the shore

21 But I felt like a newborn baby, cradled up in the arms of the Lord

22 This road is long and dusty

23 Sometimes a soul it must be cleansed

24 And I long to feel that water rushing over me again

25 (''Randy Travis'')

26 Down with the old man, up with the new

27 ''Raised to walk in the way of light and truth''

28 I didn't see no angels, just a few saints on the shore

29 ''But I felt like a newborn baby, cradled up in the arms of the Lord''

30 I felt like a newborn baby, cradled up in the arms of the Lord
