I Left It In The Water

Southbound

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
