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
