Album: I Left It In the Water
I had a past I carried so long
Didn't get it all right, got a lot of it wrong
When they laid me down in that watery grave
Came up without a trace, it was covered by grace
When I left it in the water
I left it in the water when I was baptized
I left it in the water buried in the tide
My past was forgiven that very hour
Guilt, sin and shame no longer remain
Cause I left it in the water
All of the weight from this road I was on
Was lifted that day and it didn't take long
If you look for old me, friend don't even bother
There's just a headstone saying that man is gone
Cause I left it in the water
I left it in the water when I was baptized
I left it in the water buried in the tide
My past was forgiven that very hour
So my Guilt, sin and shame no longer remain
Cause I left it in the water
They sang amazing grace
I was buried that day
But don't cry for me
Because I live to say,
I was forgiven that very hour
All my Guilt, sin and shame no longer remain
Won't be back again
Cause I left it in the water
I left it in the water

This is very proChurch of Christ song. Most Christians do not believe that baptism washes away anything other than your hair style, Might do well to consider that. Thanks. - Mar 2025
