Baptism
Author: Mickey Cates Artist: Kenny Chesney The summer breeze made ripples on the pond Rattled through the reeds and the willow trees beyond Daddy in his good hat momma in her Sunday dress Watched with pride as I stood there in the water up to my chest Preacher spoke about the cleansing blood And I sank my toes into that east Tennessee mud CHORUS Then it was down with the old man Up with the new Raised to walk in the way of light and truth Didn't see no angels, just a few saints on 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 My sins were many where washed away and gone Along with a buffalo nickel I forgot to leave it home That seems like such a small small price to pay For the blessed peace of mind that came to me that day REPEAT CHORUS This road is long and dusty Sometimes a soul it must be cleansed And I long to feel that water Rushing over me again REPEAT CHORUS Cradled up in the arms of the Lord |
