Baptism Lyrics - Randy Travis

The summer breeze 

Made ripples on the pond 

And rattled through the reeds 

And the willow trees boyond 

And Daddy in his good hat 

And Mamma 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 

As I sank my toes 

Into that cool East Texas mud

Then it was down with the old man 

Up with the new 

Raised to walk in 

The ways of light and truth 

I didn't see no angels 

Just a few saints on the 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 

And my sins which were many 

Were washed away and gone 

Along with a buffalo nickel 

I forgot to leave at home 

Photos 

That semed like such a small 

Small price to pay 

For the blessed peace of mind 

That came to me that day 

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 new born 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 

[Break] 

I didn't see no angels 

Just a few saints on the shore 

But I felt like a new born baby 

Cradled up in the arms of the Lord 

I felt like a new born baby 

Cradled up in the arms of the Lord
