VERSE 1
D Bm G A
The summer breeze made ripples on the pond
D Bm G A
And rattled through the reeds and the willow trees beyond
Bm A G D
Daddy in his good hat and mama in her Sunday dress
D Bm G A D
Watched with pride as I stood there in the water up to my chest
C G D
And the preacher spoke about the cleansing Blood
G D Bm A
As I sank my toes into that cool East Texas mud
CHORUS
D Bm
And it was down will the old man
G A D
Up with the new
G D Bm A
Raised to walk in the ways of light and truth
Bm G D G
I didn't see no angels, just a few saints on the shore
D A Bm
And I felt like a new-born baby
G A D
Cradled up in the arms of the Lord
VERSE 2
D Bm G A
Amazing grace, oh how sweet the sound
D Bm G A
There was glory in the air, there was dinner on the ground
Bm A G D
And my sins which were many, were washed away and gone
D Bm G A D
Along with a buffalo nickel I forgot to leave at home
C G D
But that seemed like such a small, small price to pay
G D Bm A
For the blessed peace of mind that came to me that day
TO CHORUS
C G
This road is long and dusty,
Bm A D
Sometimes the soul, it must be cleansed
C G Bm A
And I long to feel that water, rushing over me again
TO CHORUS
