Standard (EADGBE)

 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 with Jesus day after day nobody lives quite that way

 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

Solo

 Once I was baptized but now I am free singing that new gospel song

 Singing higher and higher and higher
