Baptism

Kenny Chesney feat. Randy Travis

The summer breeze, made ripples on the pond
Rattled through the rings and the willow trees beyond
Daddy in his good hat, mama 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
I sank my toes into that East Tennessee mud

Then it was down with the old man, up with the new
Raise 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 new born 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
And my sins went for many, were washed away and gone
Along with a buffalo nickel, I forgot to leave at home
But 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
Raise 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 new born baby
Cradled up in the arms of the Lord

This road is long and dusty
Sometimes the soul it must be cleansed
And I long to feel that water, rushing over me again

Down with the old man, up with the new
Raise 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 new born baby
Cradled up in the arms of the Lord
I felt like a new born baby
Cradled up in the arms of the Lord
