That Was Then, This Is Now Lyrics

We used to hide
From the light
We made friends with the night

We were headed the wrong way On a one way track
Going nowhere fast

We got used
To the dark
We thought this is who we are

And we figrued that we
Were just too far gone

But we were wrong

'Cause love came running like a
River

And we got washed in the water

Then He said "you're forgiven"
"Your sins are gone"

That was then

This is now

You're bought by the blood
Saved by The Son
The saints all sing about

That was lost

This is found

It's time to say goodbye
To the old you now

So go ahead
Put the past in the past
Box it up like an old photograph

You don't have to go back
'Cause that was then

And this is now

We've been remade
By grace
We've all got new names

And nothing we do
Could ever change
What He did that day

When love came running like a
River

And we got washed in the water

Then He said "you're forgiven"
"And you belong"

That was then

This is now

You're bought by the blood
Saved by The Son
The saints all sing about

That was lost

This is found

It's time to say goodbye
To the old you now

So go ahead
Put the past in the past
Box it up like an old photograph

You don't have to go back
'Cause that was then

If we turn and confess
Every unrighteousness

He is faithful
And just to forgive

Oh so turn and confess
Every wrong and regret

And see what it means to live

That was then

This is now

You're bought by the blood
Saved by The Son
The saints all sing about

That was lost

This is found

It's time to say goodbye
To the old you now

So go ahead
Put the past in the past
Box it up like an old photograph

You don't have to go back
'Cause that was then

And this is now

So go ahead
Put the past in the past
Box it up like an old photograph

You don't have to go back

'Cause that was then

And this is now

((God bless!))
