Kenny Chesney & Randy Travis

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)
''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
But it seems like such a small, small price to pay
For the blessed peace of mind that came to me that day.

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.

This road is long and dusty,
Sometimes a soul it must be cleansed
And I long to feel that water rushing over me again.

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.

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