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!))
