Baptised
View chords used in this chart
G The summer breeze made C ripples on the Em pond
G Rattled through the reeds C and the willow trees D beyond
G Daddy in his good C hat momma in her Sunday Em dress
G Watched with pride as I stood there C in the water up to my G chest
{Em}Preacher spoke C about the cleansing D blood
And I C sank my toes into that G east Tennessee D mud
G Then it was down with Em the old man
C Up with the D new
Em Raised to walk C in the way of light and D truth
Em Didn't see no C angels, just a few saints on G shore
Em But I felt like a new born C baby
Cradled up G in the arms of the C Lord
G Amazing grace C oh how sweet the Em sound
G There was glory in the air, C there was dinner on the D ground
G My sins were C many where washed away and Em gone
G Along with a buffalo nickel C I forgot to leave it G home
Em That seems like C such a small small price to D pay
For the C blessed peace of mind G that came to me that D day
Em This road is long and dusty
C Sometimes a soul it must be D cleansed
Em And I long to feel that water
C Rushing over me D again
Cradled up in the arms of the Lord
