Baptism Lyrics - Original Album Classics - Kenny Chesney

The Summer breeze, made ripples on the pond 

And rattled through the reeds, and the willow trees beyond 

Daddy in his good hat, and 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 

I sank my toes into that, east Tennessee mud 

And 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

Amazing Grace, oh how sweet the sound 

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

And my sins which were 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 

And 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 be 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] 

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] 

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