Intro:
D G D D D A D D D
Verse:
D G D
I was headed down a path of destruction
G D
With a pain that I just couldn't kill
G D
I remember the dark and the empty
A7 D
And the hope that nothing could fill
G D
But I know Jesus was with me
G D A
Even in my darkest time
D G D
He was there when I hit rock bottom
A7 D
And at the lowest low of my high
Chorus:
Bm D
I've been bathed in holy water
Bm7 A
And it washed all my sins away
D G D
But I had to be baptized by fire
A7 D
In order to truly be saved
[Instrumental]

Verse:
D G D
As the sun breaks the trees this morning
G D
And I hit my knees to pray
G D
I think of the day that's before me
A D
And the time I let slip away
G D
A vision of mama's old Bible
G D A7
On a shelf that she kept on display
D G D
Reminds me of where it all started
A D
And who led me out of the flame
Chorus:
Bm D
I've been bathed in holy water
Bm A
And it washed all my sins away
D G D
But I had to be baptized by fire
A D
In order to truly be saved
D Bm D
I had to be baptized by fire
A D
In order to truly be saved
