Testo Baptism (with Kenny Chesney)

The summer breeze, made ripples on the pondRattled through the rings and the willow trees beyondDaddy in his good hat, mama in her Sunday dressWatched in pride, as I stood there in the water up to my chestAnd the preacher spoke about the cleansing bloodI sank my toes into that East Tennessee mudAnd 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 new 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 went for 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 new baby, cradled up in the arms of the LordThis road is long and dusty, sometimes the soul 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 new baby, cradled up in the arms of the LordI felt like a newborn baby, cradled up in the arms of the Lord
