I Left It In the Water

V-1

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

AND I LEFT IT IN THE WATER 

CHORUS

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 & SHAME, NO LONGER REMAINED 

‘CUZ I LEFT IT IN THE WATER

V-2

ALL OF THE WEIGHT, FROM THE 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

CHORUS

BRIDGE

WHILE THEY SANG AMAZING GRACE,

I WAS BURIED THAT DAY

BUT DON’T CRY FOR ME,

CAUSE I LIVED TO SAY

THANK GOD I AM FREE FREE FREE

FROM THIS WORLD OF SIN

WASHED IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS

BEEN BORN AGAIN
