Baptism (kenny Chesney & Randy Travis) Lyrics - Kenny Chesney

Baptism 

The summer breeze, made ripples on the pond 

Rattled through the reeds 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 

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 

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 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 

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
