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