THE SUMMER BREEZE
MADE RIPPLES ON
THE POND
AND RATTLED
THROUGH THE REEDS
AND THE WILLOW TREES
BEYOND
DADDY IN HIS GOOD HAT
AND MAMA
IN HER SUNDAY DRESS
WATCHED WITH PRIDE
AS I STOOD THERE
IN THE WATER
UP TO MY CHEST
AND THE PREACHER
SPOKE ABOUT
THE CLEANSING BLOOD
AS I SINK MY TOES INTO
THAT COOL EAST TEXAS
MUD
AND IT WAS
DOWN WITH THE OLD MAN
UP WITH THE NEW
RAISED TO WALK
IN THE WAYS OF LIGHT
AND TRUTH
I DIDN'T SEE NO ANGELS
JUST A FEW SAINTS
ON THE SHORE
BUT I FELT LIKE
A NEWBORN BABY
CRADLED UP
IN THE ARMS OF THE LORD
AMAZING GRACE
OH HOW SWEET
THE SOUND
THERE WAS
GLORY IN THE END
THERE WAS DINNER
ON THE GROUND
AND MY SINS
WHICH WERE MANY
WERE WASHED AWAY
AND GONE
ALONG WITH A BUFFALO
NICKEL
I FORGOT TO LEAVE
AT HOME
THAT SEEMED LIKE
SUCH A SMALL
SMALL PRICE TO PAY
FOR THE BLESSED
PEACE OF MIND
THAT CAME TO ME
THAT DAY
IT WAS
DOWN WITH THE OLD MAN
UP WITH THE NEW
RAISED TO WALK
IN THE WAYS OF LIGHT
AND TRUTH
I DIDN'T SEE NO ANGELS
BUT JUST A FEW SAINTS
ON THE SHORE
BUT I FELT LIKE
A NEWBORN BABY
CRADLED UP
IN THE ARMS OF THE LORD
THIS ROAD IS LONG
AND DUSTY
SOMETIMES A SOUL
IT MUST BE CLEANSED
AND I LONG TO FEEL
THAT WATER
RUSHING OVER ME
AGAIN
4 BAR
BREAK
I DIDN'T SEE NO ANGELS
JUST A FEW SAINTS
ON THE SHORE
BUT I FELT LIKE
A NEWBORN BABY
CRADLED UP
IN THE ARMS
OF THE LORD
I FELT LIKE
A NEWBORN BABY
CRADLED UP
IN THE ARMS
OF THE LORD
