BaptismThe summer breeze, made ripples on the pondRattled through the reeds and the willow trees beyondDaddy in his good hat, mama in her Sunday dressWatched with pride, as I stood there in the water up to my chestAnd the preacher spoke about the cleansing bloodand I sank my toes into that East Tennessee mudThen it was down with the old man, up with the newRaised to walk in the way of light and truthI didn't see no angels, just a few saints on the shoreBut I felt like a newborn baby, cradled up in the arms of the LordAmazing grace, oh how sweet the soundThere was glory in the air, there was dinner on the groundAnd my sins which were many, were washed away and goneAlong with a buffalo nickel I forgot to leave at homeBut that seemed like such a small, small price to payFor the blessed peace of mind that came to me that dayAnd it was down with the old man, up with the newRaised to walk in the way of light and truthI didn't see no angels, just a few saints on the shoreBut I felt like a newborn baby, cradled up in the arms of the LordThis road is long and dusty, sometimes the soul it must be cleansedAnd I long to feel that water, rushing over me againDown with the old man, up with the newRaised to walk in the way of light and truthI didn't see no angels, just a few saints on the shoreBut I felt like a newborn baby, cradled up in the arms of the Lord
