Baptism(feat. Randy Travis Lyrics

Baptism(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

 

 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 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

 

 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 new born baby, cradled up in the arms of the Lord

 

 This road is long and dusty, sometimes the soul must be cleansed

 And I long to feel that water, rushin' 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 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
