The Summer breeze, made ripples on the pond

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



[chorus]

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



[Randy Travis]

'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

And it seems like such a small, small price to pay

For the blessed piece of mind that came to me that day



[chorus]



This road is long and dusty,

sometimes a soul it must be cleansed

How I long to feel that water rushing over me again



[chorus]



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