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

Em  C  D
Preacher spoke about the cleansing blood
C  G  D
And I sank my toes into that east Tennessee mud

G  Em
Then it was down with the old man
C  D
Up with the new
Em  C  D
Raised to walk in the way of light and truth
Em  C   G
Didn't see no angels, just a few saints on shore
Em  C  
But I felt like a new born baby
G  C
Cradled up in the arms of the Lord

G  C  Em
Amazing grace oh how sweet the sound
G  C  D
There was glory in the air, there was dinner on the ground
G  C  Em
My sins were many where washed away and gone
G  C  G
Along with a buffalo nickel I forgot to leave it home

Em  C  D
That seems like such a small small price to pay
C  G  D
For the blessed peace of mind that came to me that day

Em 
This road is long and dusty 
C  D
Sometimes a soul it must be cleansed
Em 
And I long to feel that water 
C  D
Rushing over me again
Cradled up in the arms of the Lord
