Baptism
Recorded by Randy Travis
Written by Mickey Cates

C          Am          F              G7
The summer breeze made ripples on the pond
C                       Am            F            G7
And rattled through the reeds and the willow trees beyond
Am                G7      F                   C
Daddy in his good hat and momma in her Sunday dress
F                       Em          C            G7       C
Watched with pride as I stood there in the water up to my chest

        A#7            F                   C
And the preacher spoke about the cleansing blood
F            C              Dm              G7
As I sank my toes into that cool East Texas mud

            C             Am      F  G7       C
Then it was down with the old man up with the new
F         C                   Dm        G7
Raised to walk in the ways of light and truth
  Am            F                 C             F
I didn't see no angels just a few saints on the shore
      C           Am           G7      F         G7          C
But I felt like a newborn baby cradled up in the arms of the Lord

        Am    F                G7
Amazing grace oh how sweet the sound
C                      Am            F             G7
There was glory in the air there was dinner on the ground
       Am              G7        F               C
And my sins which were many were washed away and gone
F                    C        Dm        G7       C
Along with a buffalo nickel I forgot to leave at home

     A#7                F                    C
That seemed like such a small small price to pay
F               C                  Dm              G7
For the blessed peace of mind that came to me that day

Repeat #3

     A#7              F         G7                        C
This road is long and dusty sometimes the soul it must be cleansed
      A#7               F             G7
And I long to feel that water rushing over me again

  Am            F                 C             F
I didn't see no angels just a few saints on the shore
      C           Am           G7      F         G7          C
But I felt like a newborn baby cradled up in the arms of the Lord

            Am           G7      F         G7          Am   F G7 C
Felt like a newborn baby cradled up in the arms of the Lord
