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
