If I gave you my blessing and bid you goodby And something is holding me down Once I was baptized but that was all right Now If I just can be found Living for Jesus day after day nobody lives quite that strong Blessed insurance is one thing to know and another to sing in a song Well the family possessions passed on to me No longer fit in my hands Once I was saved that one was free I'd be pleased to know just where I stand Living for Jesus making it pay well nobody lives quite that long Once I was baptized but now I am free singing that new gospel song Singing higher and higher and higher
